Berger Ammunition .308 Win 168gr Classic Hunter (60040)

Berger’s .308 Winchester 168 Grain Classic Hunter gives the legendary .308 a modern edge: a jump-tolerant hybrid ogive for flatter trajectories, reliable magazine feeding, and proven terminal performance on medium game.

Why it hits farther

• Hybrid Ogive: Blends tangent + secant shapes to reduce wind drift and seating-depth sensitivity.
• Consistent Core: Tight weight control for repeatable BC and smaller vertical at distance.
• Boat Tail: Aerodynamic base design maintains stability through the transonic zone.
• J4 Hunting Jacket: Ultra-concentric copper jacket; penetrates 2–3" then expands rapidly for ethical lethality.

Use cases

Ideal for deer, antelope, and similar game where magazine-fed reliability, precision, and controlled expansion matter—whether you’re running a factory bolt gun or a capable semi-auto.
