The Berger 30 Caliber 217 Grain Elite Hunter is a heavy-for-caliber projectile aimed squarely at the modern long-range hunter who wants both reach and knockdown. With a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.695 (G7 of 0.356) and a sectional density of 0.327, this .308 diameter bullet holds its velocity, fights wind drift, and shows up at distance carrying serious energy. It measures 1.599 inches overall and rides on a boat tail base that keeps things efficient downrange.
The heart of this bullet is Berger's hybrid ogive, which blends tangent and secant designs. In plain terms, you get the aerodynamic benefit of a secant nose without the fussy load development, since the hybrid shape is far more forgiving on seating depth. That means less time chasing a tune and more time confirming a load you can trust. The nose runs 0.871 inches with a 0.465 bearing surface, and it's built around Berger's J4 jacket for the kind of core-to-jacket consistency that keeps groups tight.
On game, these are designed to penetrate roughly 2 to 3 inches before opening up, dumping energy inside the vitals and producing a large wound cavity with heavy hydrostatic shock. That inside-the-animal energy transfer is exactly what you want for clean, ethical harvests on medium to large game. It pairs especially well with the 300 PRC and other modern 30 caliber magnums that were built to push sleek, high-BC bullets like this one.
Berger lists a minimum twist of 1:10 or faster to stabilize this bullet, so most dedicated magnum barrels will have no trouble running it. These measure .308 in diameter and work in any standard .30 caliber case you're set up to load. If you're working up a heavy-for-caliber load and want one bullet that balances match accuracy with reliable expansion, the 217 is a strong candidate.
Berger calls for a minimum twist of 1:10 or faster for this bullet. Most modern .30 caliber magnum barrels, including a lot of 300 PRC setups, come with a 1:10 or faster twist and will run it fine. If you're running something slower than 1:10, it may not stabilize properly, so check your barrel before loading.
This is a heavy-for-caliber bullet built for modern 30 caliber magnums that can push sleek, high-BC projectiles. The 300 PRC is a popular match, and it also works well in cases like the 300 Win Mag and 30 Nosler when you've got enough twist to stabilize it. Its long profile and high BC really shine out of the big magnum cases.
The Elite Hunter is designed to penetrate roughly 2 to 3 inches before expanding rapidly. That delayed expansion dumps energy inside the vitals and creates a large wound cavity with strong hydrostatic shock. It's built for clean, effective harvests on medium to large game at both close and extended ranges.
This bullet carries an ultra-high G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.695 and a G7 of 0.356. That high BC, combined with a sectional density of 0.327, means it retains velocity and resists wind drift extremely well. It's one of the reasons this bullet is a favorite for long-range hunting work.
