Berger built the 155.5 grain FullBore Target bullet with one job in mind: winning matches. This .308 diameter boat tail was designed specifically for Palma rifle applications in international competition, reaching out to 1,000 yards with the kind of consistency sling and F-Class shooters chase. It rides a J4 Target jacket and a precise lead core, which is a big part of why Berger's Target line has earned its spot on firing lines around the world.
The standout trait here is the tangent ogive. Unlike a secant VLD that wants to live right at the lands, the FullBore is remarkably forgiving about seating depth, which makes initial load development a lot less frustrating. Competitors routinely jump this bullet anywhere from 0.020 to 0.060 inches and still print tight groups, and that tolerance is a real advantage as a barrel throat erodes over a season. You tune once and keep shooting instead of chasing the lands every few hundred rounds.
On paper it carries a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.473 and a G7 of 0.242, with a sectional density of 0.234 and an overall length of 1.226 inches. It wants a 1:13 twist or faster to stabilize properly, so a standard .308 Palma or F/TR barrel is right in its wheelhouse. The 155.5 grain weight was chosen on purpose to stay under the 156 grain ceiling that fullbore and many Palma rules call for.
One thing worth knowing before you start: this is a long bullet for its weight. When you seat it to a competitive jump, you may only have a modest amount of bearing surface left in the case neck, so moderate neck tension and careful handling of loaded rounds pays off. Varget and similar medium burn-rate powders have a long track record behind this bullet. Start with a safe published charge, then work your seating depth in small increments to settle the vertical at your match distance. It feeds well from magazines where overall length matters too.
Berger lists a minimum twist of 1:13 inches or faster for this bullet. A standard .308 Palma, F/TR, or match barrel in that range will stabilize it reliably. If your rifle has a slower twist like a 1:14, you may see inconsistent results, especially at distance.
Not at all, and that is one of its best features. The tangent ogive design is very tolerant of jump, with many competitors seating anywhere from 0.020 to 0.060 inches off the lands and getting excellent groups. That forgiving nature also makes it easier to keep a stable tune as your barrel throat wears through a season.
The weight was chosen on purpose. FullBore and many Palma competitions require a .308 bullet that weighs under 156 grains, so Berger built the 155.5 to sit comfortably within that limit while still delivering a high BC for the class.
It was designed specifically for Palma rifle competition out to 1,000 yards and shines at mid to long range beyond 600 yards. The boat tail base helps it hold velocity downrange, and its match-grade construction keeps vertical tight at distance. Many shooters consider it one of the most accurate 155-class bullets available for sling and F/TR use.
