Berger built this one for the precision-minded varmint hunter who refuses to give up accuracy when the ranges stretch out. These are .224 diameter, 55 grain Flat Base bullets with a large hollow point and a thin J4 Varmint jacket, so they open up quickly once they find their mark. The tangent ogive is the real sleeper feature here. It makes these bullets forgiving to load and tune, and they tend to shoot well across a decent spread of seating depths instead of forcing you to chase one magic measurement.
Berger starts with the same J4 Precision Jacket that competition target shooters and custom bullet makers lean on worldwide. That jacket is held to extremely tight wall thickness tolerances, which is a big part of why these print the groups they do. Folks running them in the .223, .22-250, and similar cases regularly report sub-half-inch groups once they find the right powder charge, and the match-grade build is what makes that repeatable from box to box.
With a G1 BC of 0.209 and a flat base design, this bullet is at its best inside the varmint envelope rather than true long range. That said, plenty of hunters stretch it out on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, chucks, and the occasional coyote. On smaller varmints it gets dramatic in a hurry, which is exactly what you want when you are counting hits across a dog town. It is a touch less frangible than some polymer-tip bullets, so it leans slightly more toward accuracy than pure explosiveness, a trade a lot of precision shooters are happy to make.
These call for a 1:14" twist or faster, which covers the vast majority of .22 centerfire barrels out there. Sectional density runs 0.157, overall length is 0.753", and the base to ogive measures 0.377". Sold as components only, 100 projectiles per box, no brass, powder, or primers included.
Berger recommends a 1:14" twist or faster to stabilize these 55 grain bullets. That covers the majority of .22 centerfire varmint barrels, including most .223 Remington and .22-250 setups. If your rifle has a faster twist like a 1:8 or 1:9, these will still stabilize just fine.
These are component bullets only, meant for handloading and reloading. You get 100 projectiles in the box with no brass, powder, or primers. You will need to work up your own load to match your rifle and chosen cartridge.
They shine on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, groundhogs, and similar small varmints, and plenty of hunters use them on coyotes too. The thin J4 jacket gives rapid expansion for dramatic results on smaller critters. The flat base design and 0.209 BC keep them most effective within typical varmint distances rather than extreme long range.
The draw here is match-grade accuracy built on the J4 Precision Jacket, which is held to very tight tolerances. Shooters often report half-inch and better groups once they dial in a load. These run slightly less frangible than some polymer-tip varmint bullets, which many precision hunters prefer when they value tight groups and reliable hits at distance.
