Description
Berger built the 220 grain Long Range Hybrid Target bullet with the F-TR and tactical precision crowd in mind, and it shows the second you start loading them. The whole idea behind this projectile is consistency, because a high ballistic coefficient only matters if it stays the same shot after shot. That reliable, repeatable BC is what keeps your vertical tight when you're reaching out to a grand and beyond.
What Makes the 220gr Long Range Hybrid Target Tick
This bullet runs Berger's hybrid ogive, which blends tangent and secant nose shapes into one profile. Near the bearing surface it starts off tangent, so it's forgiving to tune and not fussy about seating depth, then it transitions into a secant shape that flattens trajectory and cuts wind drift. On top of that, Berger uses their Meplat Reduction Technology, which applies controlled pressure along the nose of each bullet to clean up the tip and tighten BC variation across the box. The result is a G1 BC of 0.717 and a G7 BC of 0.369, along with a boat tail base and a sectional density of 0.331.
Reloading the .30 Cal 220 Grain LRHT
Every one of these projectiles is built on a J4 Target Jacket, which holds concentricity to roughly plus or minus .0003 inches. That kind of tolerance is a big part of why Berger has such a reputation among custom bullet makers and competitive reloaders. Berger's core process is tight enough that you don't need to sort these by weight before loading, which saves a real chunk of time at the bench. For diameter, these measure a true 0.308 inches with an overall length of 1.597 inches.
One thing worth knowing before you load a batch: these are heavy for caliber, so you'll want a barrel with a 1:10 inch twist or faster to stabilize them properly. Get the twist right and these bullets will reward you with the kind of long range consistency Berger is known for.

Frequently Asked Questions
What twist rate do I need to run the 220gr Long Range Hybrid Target?
Berger lists a minimum twist of 1:10 inch or faster to properly stabilize this 220 grain bullet. Because it's a long, heavy-for-caliber projectile, a slower twist won't keep it stable and your accuracy will suffer. If your .30 cal barrel is 1:10 or tighter, you're good to go.
Are these loaded cartridges or just the bullets?
These are component bullets only, meaning the projectiles you seat into your own brass when handloading. There's no powder, primer, or case included. You'll need the rest of your components and reloading gear to put together finished rounds.
Do I need to sort these by weight before loading?
No. Berger's core manufacturing process is consistent enough that weight sorting isn't necessary, which is one of the perks of their target line. You get reliable drop and a consistent BC straight out of the box, saving you time at the bench.
What disciplines is the .30 cal 220gr LRHT best suited for?
Berger designed this bullet around F-TR and tactical precision shooting, and it's a favorite for PRS and other long range work. The high, repeatable ballistic coefficient really shines when you're stretching things out to 1,000 yards and beyond. It's a target projectile through and through, built for ringing steel and punching paper.
