The Berger 31070 delivers match-grade precision for 6.5 Creedmoor shooters demanding consistent long-range performance. This 156-grain Hybrid Target bullet combines the best characteristics of tangent and secant ogive designs for superior ballistic coefficients and reduced wind drift sensitivity.
What Makes This Different
Berger's Hybrid design merges tangent ogive forgiveness with secant ogive efficiency, creating a bullet that maintains accuracy across varying seating depths. The J4 Precision jacket ensures consistent wall thickness within 0.0003 inches, while the boat-tail base reduces drag coefficient by approximately 15% compared to flat-base designs. Independent testing shows BC values of 0.679 (G1) and 0.347 (G7), significantly higher than conventional 140-grain offerings.
Key Features
- 156-grain Hybrid Target design optimized for 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics
- J4 Precision jacket with 0.0003-inch wall thickness tolerance
- Boat-tail base reduces drag and extends effective range
- 0.679 G1 ballistic coefficient for superior wind-bucking ability
- Compatible with standard 6.5mm/.264 caliber barrels
- 20 bullets per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total bullets)
- Manufactured in Mesa, Arizona using match-grade components
Competitive shooters report consistent sub-MOA groups at 600 yards when paired with quality brass and appropriate powder charges. The 156-grain weight provides excellent stability in standard 1:8 twist barrels while maintaining supersonic velocity past 1,200 yards in most conditions. Temperature stability remains consistent across seasonal variations, making load development more predictable for precision applications.
