The Berger Target .30 Cal .308 115gr FB is a match-grade projectile built for reloaders who care about every thousandth of an inch. These are flat base bullets measuring .308 inches with a tangent ogive profile, which is exactly why they've earned such a loyal following in the 30 BR benchrest crowd. The tangent shape makes them easy to tune, easy to seat consistently, and forgiving when you're chasing a sweet spot in your load development.
At the heart of these bullets are J4 Precision jackets, the same ultra-uniform jackets that have made Berger a household name in precision circles. The tight concentricity keeps each bullet balanced under high RPM, which translates to fewer flyers and tighter vertical on paper. With a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.289 and a bullet length right around 0.940 inches, they run best in a 1:19 twist or faster.
This is a short to mid-range accuracy bullet through and through. Flat base designs like this one tend to shoot their best out to roughly 300 yards, which is the bread and butter of benchrest and short-range group shooting where a boat tail doesn't buy you much. Reloaders running the 30 BR have found a lot of success here, pairing these with powders like H4198, N130, and AR2207 to land in the 3000 fps neighborhood.
Because these use a tangent ogive rather than a hybrid or secant profile, seating depth is far less fussy than some of the longer high-BC designs. That makes them a great choice if you'd rather spend your range time shooting than chasing an exact jam. Berger's reputation for tight weight control also means you can usually skip the bullet sorting step and still get consistent results downrange. This box contains 500 bullets, so you've got plenty to work through a full load development and still have a solid supply for match day.
Berger recommends a 1:19 inch twist or faster to properly stabilize these 115 grain flat base bullets. Most .30 caliber barrels used for 30 BR and similar cartridges fall well within that range. If you're running a faster twist than 1:19, you'll have no trouble stabilizing them.
Absolutely. The 115gr FB Target is one of the go-to factory bullets for 30 BR benchrest shooters, and there's a wealth of published and community load data for that cartridge. Shooters have had good results with powders like H4198, N130, and AR2207.
This is a short to mid-range accuracy bullet, and it performs best out to roughly 300 yards. The flat base design is ideal for benchrest and group shooting at those distances, where a boat tail design doesn't offer much advantage. For longer range work, you'd want to look at a higher-BC boat tail bullet instead.
Yes. The tangent ogive is more forgiving of seating depth than secant or hybrid profiles, so finding an accurate load tends to be quicker and less finicky. That makes these a solid pick whether you're new to precision reloading or just want to simplify your load development.
