The Berger 85.5 grain Long Range Hybrid Target is what you reach for when you want a .22 caliber bullet that keeps pace with the heavy hitters way out past where most .224 projectiles run out of steam. It carries a G1 BC of 0.524 and a G7 of 0.268, which is seriously impressive for the caliber, and Berger's improved center of gravity design keeps it stable and predictable as the distance stacks up. These are projectiles only, sold 100 to the box, built for reloaders who care about every last unit of consistency.
The star of the show here is Berger's Meplat Reduction Technology. Instead of trimming or pointing tips the old way, MRT applies controlled pressure along the nose to produce a uniform, repeatable profile. The payoff is a higher BC with less shot-to-shot variation, which translates to less vertical dispersion and tighter wind drift downrange. Berger backs this up with Doppler radar verification, and the BC variation on this bullet comes in at under one percent. When you're calling wind at 600 yards and beyond, that kind of consistency is what actually keeps rounds in the group.
The hybrid ogive is the other half of the equation. It blends a tangent nose shape for easy, forgiving tuning with a secant section that cuts drag and fights wind. In plain terms, this bullet is jump tolerant, so you don't have to obsess over seating depth to find accuracy. These need a 1:8" twist or faster to stabilize properly, so make sure your barrel is up to the task before you load up a batch.
Each bullet wears a J4 Precision Target Jacket held to roughly plus or minus .0003" concentricity, which is a big part of why Berger has the reputation it does among precision and long-range crowds. Pair these with quality brass and a tuned load and you've got a .22 caliber round that punches well above its weight at distance.
These bullets call for a 1:8" twist or faster to stabilize properly. Given the length and weight for a .224 projectile, a slower twist likely won't stabilize them reliably. If your barrel is cut 1:7" or 1:8", you're in good shape.
These are component bullets only, meaning the projectiles themselves with no case, powder, or primer. They're intended for handloaders who assemble their own ammunition. You'll get 100 bullets in the box.
The big difference is Berger's Meplat Reduction Technology, which shapes the nose for a higher and more consistent ballistic coefficient. That means less BC variation shot to shot, which shows up as tighter vertical and better wind performance at distance. The BCs are also Doppler radar verified with under one percent variation.
That's exactly what it's built for. With a G1 BC of 0.524 and a jump-tolerant hybrid ogive, it's designed to stay predictable well past 1,000 yards. It's a popular pick among precision and competition reloaders running fast-twist .22 caliber barrels.
