The Berger Bullets 23020 Target delivers exceptional accuracy for precision rifle shooting with its 73-grain boat tail design optimized for .223 Remington chambers. These match-grade projectiles feature Berger's renowned J4 precision jacket construction and consistent weight sorting that competitive shooters rely on for tight groups at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
Berger's Target line bullets utilize a tangent ogive profile that provides superior accuracy compared to secant ogive designs while remaining forgiving to seating depth variations. The 73-grain weight offers an ideal balance of velocity retention and wind resistance for .223 Remington cartridges. Each bullet undergoes rigorous quality control with weight sorting to ±0.3 grains and concentricity checks to ensure consistent performance shot after shot.
Key Features
- 73-grain boat tail design optimized for .223 Remington chambers
- J4 precision jacket construction with 95/5 gilding metal composition
- Tangent ogive profile for accuracy and seating depth forgiveness
- Weight sorted to ±0.3 grains for consistent ballistic performance
- 0.224" diameter with 0.395 ballistic coefficient
- Match-grade lead core with uniform density distribution
- 20 bullets per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total bullets)
These bullets excel in competitive shooting disciplines where precision matters most, including F-Class, benchrest, and long-range tactical competitions. The 73-grain weight stabilizes effectively in 1:8" and faster twist barrels while maintaining supersonic velocity beyond 600 yards when loaded appropriately. The boat tail base design reduces drag and minimizes velocity loss downrange compared to flat-base alternatives.
