Berger's 175 grain Long Range BT Target is a .30 caliber (0.308") projectile that competitive reloaders reach for when accuracy is the whole point. This is a dedicated target bullet with a boat tail base and a tangent ogive profile, and it carries a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.512 and a G7 of 0.262. It's a components-only box of 100 bullets, not loaded ammo, so you'll be seating these in your own brass.
The heart of this bullet is the J4 Target jacket, which Berger builds to extremely tight runout tolerances. That concentricity is a big reason these shoot so consistently, since a balanced bullet stays stable under high RPM and keeps your vertical dispersion in check. Pair that with a controlled lead core and uniform geometry, and you get projectile-to-projectile consistency that serious load development depends on.
One of the nicest things about the tangent ogive design is how forgiving it is during load development. Tangent bullets are far less fussy about seating depth than secant designs, so you can find a node without chasing your tail. Berger lists a minimum twist of 1:13" or faster to stabilize this bullet, which covers most .308 Winchester and .30 caliber match barrels out there. The bullet also plays nicely with magazine-fed rifles and works well where you need to stay within SAAMI overall length.
This one is purpose-built for punching paper and ringing steel. The boat tail base trims drag and helps the bullet stay settled through the transonic window, so it holds X-ring accuracy out to 1,000 yards and beyond in the right rifle. If you shoot F-Class, PRS practice, or just load for a precision .308, this is a proven option that rewards careful handloading.
Berger recommends a minimum barrel twist of 1:13" or faster to fully stabilize this 175 grain bullet. That covers the vast majority of .308 Winchester and .30 caliber match barrels. If you're running a standard 1:10" or 1:11" twist you'll have plenty of stability to spare.
These are component bullets only, sold 100 to a box. You supply your own brass, powder, and primers and seat these projectiles as part of your handload. They're intended for reloaders building precision target ammunition.
Yes, that's one of the main appeals of the BT Target. Tangent ogive bullets are more forgiving of seating depth, so you can find an accurate load without as much fine-tuning. It makes load development quicker and more repeatable, especially for folks newer to precision handloading.
It's built for target and long-range competition work rather than hunting. The boat tail and high BC help it hold accuracy out to 1,000 yards and beyond in a capable rifle. It's a solid choice for F-Class, precision .308 loads, and dedicated paper and steel shooting.
