Berger's 33109 is a 300 grain, .338 caliber Hybrid OTM (Open Tip Match) Tactical bullet that was purpose-built for the .338 Lapua Magnum and other big .338 magnums chasing distance. This is the same projectile that has earned its keep in extreme long range circles, where a high ballistic coefficient and tight bullet-to-bullet consistency separate hits from misses. With a G1 BC of 0.822, a G7 BC of 0.421, and a sectional density of 0.375, it holds velocity and bucks wind about as well as anything in its class.
The heart of this bullet is Berger's hybrid ogive, which blends tangent and secant profiles into one nose shape. The tangent section makes the bullet more forgiving of seating depth, so you are not stuck chasing a single magic measurement off the lands, while the secant portion keeps drag low for better downrange efficiency. The result is a projectile that is easier to tune than a full VLD but still delivers the flat trajectory and reduced wind drift long range reloaders are after.
These measure 1.819 inches in overall length with a boat tail base and ride on a J4 Precision Jacket, which is known for extremely tight concentricity and balance. That jacket quality matters at distance, where an out-of-balance bullet can open a group just as fast as a poor BC. Note the open tip is a match-accuracy feature, not an expanding hunting design, so plan your load accordingly. They run best in a 1:10 twist or faster barrel to keep the long 300 grain bullet stable all the way out.
This is a favorite among Mil/LE marksmen and top-tier long range competitors, and it has helped shooters stretch things out toward and past a mile in the .338 Lapua. If you are loading for a precision .338 rig and want a proven, high-BC match bullet, the 33109 earns a spot on the bench. Keep in mind these are component bullets only, sold 100 to the box, ready for your own brass, powder, and primers.
It was designed and optimized for the .338 Lapua Magnum and shines in extreme long range work out toward 1,500 meters. It will also feed other .338 magnums that can stabilize a long, heavy 300 grain projectile. These are component bullets, so you build the load yourself with your preferred brass, powder, and primer.
Berger lists a minimum twist of 1:10 inches or faster for this 300 grain bullet. The long, high-BC design needs that twist to stay stable all the way downrange. A faster twist barrel is a safe bet if you plan to stretch the distance.
Yes. The hybrid design blends a tangent and secant ogive, and the tangent portion makes the bullet less fussy about exact seating depth compared to a traditional VLD. You still get the low drag and high BC benefits, but with a wider tuning window on the bench.
The open tip here is a byproduct of the match manufacturing process, built for accuracy and a high ballistic coefficient rather than controlled expansion. It is intended for target, competition, and tactical applications. If you are after a dedicated .338 hunting bullet, Berger's Elite Hunter line is the one built for terminal performance on game.
