Description
This is what serious long-range shooters reach for when they need to ring steel at distance. The Berger 300 Norma Mag 245gr LRHT ammunition combines the heavy projectile with one of the highest ballistic coefficients available in factory loads, giving you the edge when conditions get windy or targets get far away.
The 245-grain bullet delivers a G7 BC of 0.433 with less than 1% standard deviation, which translates directly to consistent drop, predictable wind performance, and tighter groups at any range. This level of ballistic consistency matters most when you're pushing beyond 1,500 meters. The hybrid ogive design starts as a tangent curve at the base for ease of tuning in your rifle, then transitions to a secant profile that flattens your trajectory and reduces wind drift. It's the best of both worlds without the seating-depth sensitivity that full secant designs demand.
Berger's Match-Grade Components
Every round ships with premium Lapua brass cases, temperature-stable Vihtavuori propellants, and match-grade primers loaded to a muzzle velocity of 2803 fps. The 245-grain projectile uses Berger's J4 Precision Jacket, held to plus or minus 0.0003" wall concentricity. That's the same jacket tolerance custom benchrest competitors use for handloads. The core manufacturing is so exacting that you don't need to sort by weight or worry about lot-to-lot variation breaking your zero.
Built for Extreme Long Range
The 300 Norma Magnum itself was designed with one goal: deliver 338 Lapua performance from a cartridge that runs in standard magnum magazines with less recoil. Pair that case with the heaviest Berger LRHT bullet available and you get a round that was purpose-built for ELR competition and tactical applications. The 245-grain bullet was developed in partnership with US Elite Forces to increase hit percentage at ranges where most ammunition starts falling apart.
This ammunition comes in 20-round boxes loaded to exacting standards. Whether you're competing in long-range matches or testing your equipment's limits, this is the kind of factory ammunition you can trust to perform like the handloads it's built to match.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this 245-grain load and lighter Berger 300 Norma loads?
The 245-grain is the heaviest Berger LRHT option for the 300 Norma and delivers the highest ballistic coefficient available in this chambering. It's optimized for extreme long-range work beyond 1,500 meters where wind stability and BC consistency matter most. The trade-off is a slightly lower muzzle velocity compared to lighter bullets, but the superior ballistics downrange make up for it in wind resistance and energy retention.
Will this ammo work in standard 300 Norma Magnum rifles?
Yes, it's compatible with any rifle chambered in 300 Norma Magnum. The loads are built to standard pressures and dimensions. As always, verify your rifle's magazine depth and overall length capacity before loading, since the 245-grain bullet is longer than lighter projectiles.
How consistent is the ballistic coefficient across rounds in a box?
Berger uses Doppler Radar verification to ensure BC consistency, with less than 1% standard deviation across their manufactured lots. This consistency is one of the biggest advantages of factory ammunition for long-range work, because you get predictable, shot-to-shot ballistics without sorting or measuring individual rounds.
Is this ammunition suitable for competition and ELR shooting?
It's purpose-built for it. This load was developed with match-grade tolerances and uses the same precision components as factory ammunition trusted at the highest levels of competition shooting, including extreme long-range matches where consistency determines winners.
