Berger's 73 grain BT Target is a .22 caliber (.224 diameter) boat tail projectile made for handloaders who care about where every shot lands. This is the kind of bullet that shows up on the firing line at competitions, and for good reason. The tangent ogive design is easy to tune, forgiving on seating depth, and feeds smoothly through magazines, which makes it a workhorse for both gas guns and bolt rifles.
The heart of this bullet is the J4 Target jacket, held to a total indicated runout of .0003 inches or less. That tight concentricity is what keeps the bullet balanced when it's spinning at high RPM, and balance is what separates a flyer from a tight cluster on paper. Berger also builds these with consistent cores and uniform tolerances, so weight sorting usually isn't necessary to get repeatable point of impact. With a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.348 and a sectional density of 0.208, it carries velocity well and shrugs off wind better than lighter .22 options.
This one likes spin. Berger recommends a 1:9 inch twist or faster, and it also runs well in 1:7 and 1:8 barrels, which covers most modern AR platforms and precision .223 and .22 centerfire bolt guns. The boat tail base helps it stay stable through the transonic range, so it holds its own at mid-range and reaches out to 600 yards and beyond when you've got the right load worked up. Overall length sits right around 0.963 inches, so it plays nicely with magazine-length rounds.
Whether you're chasing sub-MOA groups off the bench or building a match load for your service rifle, this is a proven projectile with a long track record. Pair it with quality brass, consistent powder charges, and good neck tension, and it'll reward careful load development.
Berger recommends a 1:9 inch twist or faster to properly stabilize this bullet. It also performs well in faster twists like 1:8 and 1:7, which covers most modern AR platforms and precision .223 bolt guns. If your barrel is slower than 1:9, you'll likely see inconsistent accuracy.
These are component bullets only, meaning projectiles for handloading. They do not include brass, powder, or primers. You'll need to reload them into cases with your own components and load data.
Yes. The tangent ogive and boat tail profile are designed to feed reliably through magazines, which makes it a solid choice for AR and other gas gun applications as well as bolt rifles. The overall length works well with magazine-length loads.
The 73 grain BT Target is built for target competition and precision work, and it holds up well beyond mid-range distances out to 600 yards or more with a properly developed load. The boat tail base helps it stay stable through the transonic range. It's a popular pick for both bench shooting and match loads.
