Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Federal and Berger teamed up to bring serious ammunition engineering to the hunting world. This hybrid bullet design is a game-changer for anyone who wants match-grade accuracy without the fussiness that sometimes comes with competition ammunition.
The hybrid nose design blends tangent and secant ogive profiles, which means you get the aerodynamic efficiency of a long-range target bullet combined with a more forgiving seating depth. Unlike traditional Berger VLD bullets that can be sensitive to exact seating position, these hybrids shoot well across a wider range of setups. That matters if you're loading them yourself or just want ammo that groups well in whatever rifle you're shooting.
At 2775 fps from a 24-inch barrel, this is a solid performer for the 6.5 Creedmoor. The 135-grain weight sits in a sweet spot for the cartridge, giving you enough mass for penetration while maintaining excellent ballistic coefficients that keep energy downrange. Federal loads these with Gold Medal primers for consistent ignition and specially formulated propellant that you can count on across temperature swings.
Nickel-plated brass runs smoother through magazine and chamber, and it holds up better to reloading if that's your thing. The Berger Hybrid Hunter bullet expands reliably on medium game without the over-fragmentation that sometimes limits penetration. It's designed to create significant wound cavity development while maintaining enough integrity to reach vitals.
The hybrid design also means load development is more forgiving than you might expect from Berger ammunition. That translates to rifles shooting well right out of the box without needing to find some magical seating depth.
No, the hybrid ogive design is much more forgiving about seating depth compared to traditional Berger VLD bullets. The tangent section near the bearing surface makes load development easier while the secant ogive still delivers the aerodynamic benefits. This means you'll get good accuracy across a wider range of seating positions.
Federal rates this as medium game ammunition. It's excellent for deer and similar-sized animals at reasonable hunting ranges. The hybrid bullet expands reliably while maintaining sufficient penetration to reach vitals, making it a solid choice for whitetail and mule deer hunting.
Yes. The nickel-plated brass is reloadable, which is one of the things that makes Federal Premium ammunition a good choice for hand-loaders. The nickel plating also makes the cases easier to work with and more durable through multiple loadings.
The hybrid bullet gives you match-grade ballistics without needing to dial in an exact seating depth. You get flatter trajectories and better wind resistance than conventional hunting bullets, plus the hybrid ogive design doesn't create the same seating-depth sensitivity that makes some precision ammunition fussy. It's a middle ground between hunting and competition ammo.
