The Berger Bullets 26552 Elite Hunter delivers exceptional accuracy and terminal performance for precision shooting applications. This 6.5mm 140-grain boat tail bullet combines match-grade construction with hunting-optimized design for consistent results at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
The Elite Hunter features Berger's hybrid ogive design that provides forgiving seating depth tolerance while maintaining the ballistic coefficient advantages of a secant ogive. Unlike standard hunting bullets that sacrifice accuracy for expansion, this design achieves both sub-MOA precision and reliable terminal performance. The J4 Precision jacket ensures consistent wall thickness variation of ±0.0003 inches, significantly tighter than industry standards.
Key Features
- Hybrid ogive design combines VLD and tangent benefits for easy tuning
- J4 Precision jacket with ±0.0003" wall thickness consistency
- 0.646 G1 ballistic coefficient for superior long-range performance
- 140-grain weight optimized for 6.5mm cartridge efficiency
- Boat tail base reduces drag and improves stability
- Match-grade construction with hand-sorted quality control
- Designed for 1:8 twist rate or faster stabilization
Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles with proper load development. The bullet's design excels in competitive precision rifle matches, long-range hunting scenarios, and tactical applications where first-round hits matter. The hybrid ogive reduces sensitivity to seating depth variations, making load development more forgiving than traditional VLD designs. Weather-resistant construction maintains performance across temperature extremes.
