Berger's 25 Caliber 135 grain Long Range Hybrid Target is part of the LRHT family, built for reloaders who care about repeatable dope more than anything else. The headline here is consistency. These bullets carry a G1 BC of 0.650 and a G7 BC of 0.334, and the real story is how little that number moves from shot to shot. Berger backs that up with Doppler radar testing showing less than 1% BC variation, which is exactly what you want when you're calling wind at distance and trying to keep your vertical tight.
The design uses a hybrid ogive that starts out as a tangent shape near the bearing surface, so it's forgiving to tune and not fussy about seating depth, then blends into a secant profile to cut drag and shed wind drift. Berger's Meplat Reduction Technology applies controlled pressure to the nose, which tightens up that BC spread across the whole box. Underneath the hood you get Berger's J4 Target jacket, held to a tight concentricity tolerance, wrapped around a consistent lead core. The result is a projectile that tends to shoot where your data says it will.
This is a .257 inch diameter boat tail bullet with a sectional density of 0.292 and an overall length right around 1.416 inches. To stabilize it properly you'll want a 1:8 inch twist or faster, so keep that in mind before you commit a barrel to these. They're a natural fit for the modern .25 cartridges a lot of folks are chasing right now, including 25 Creedmoor, 25-06 Remington, 25×47, and 25 PRC.
These are component bullets for handloading, not loaded ammunition, so you'll be supplying your own brass, powder, and primers. For PRS competitors and long range enthusiasts who want match-grade consistency without weight sorting every round, this 500 count box covers a serious amount of load development and range time.
Berger lists a minimum twist of 1:8 inches or faster for this 135 grain bullet. If your barrel is slower than that, you may not get full stabilization and your groups will open up. A 1:7.5 or 1:7 twist gives you a bit more margin, especially at higher velocities.
They're a great match for the modern .25 caliber cartridges a lot of long-range shooters are running, including 25 Creedmoor, 25-06 Remington, 25×47, and 25 PRC. Any .257 bore with the proper twist and enough case capacity to push a heavy-for-caliber 135 grain bullet will do well. These are component bullets, so you'll load them to your own rifle's specs.
This is a component bullet for handloading, not finished ammunition. You'll supply your own brass, powder, and primers and load them to your rifle. The box contains 500 projectiles for load development and range time.
The hybrid design starts as a tangent shape near the bearing surface, which makes it forgiving to tune and less sensitive to seating depth, then transitions to a secant profile that reduces drag and wind drift. Combined with Berger's Meplat Reduction Technology, you get a very consistent ballistic coefficient from one bullet to the next. That BC consistency, verified under 1% variation by Doppler radar, is what keeps your vertical tight at distance.
