The Berger 60040 Classic Hunter bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy for hunting applications in 308 Winchester chambered rifles. These 168-grain hybrid boat tail projectiles combine proven ballistic coefficients with consistent terminal performance across varying game sizes.
What Makes This Different
The hybrid boat tail design merges the best characteristics of secant and tangent ogive profiles, creating superior ballistic efficiency compared to traditional hunting bullets. This advanced geometry maintains stability at extended ranges while providing predictable expansion upon impact. Independent testing shows ballistic coefficients exceeding .500 G1, significantly outperforming conventional cup-and-core designs.
Key Features
- 168-grain hybrid boat tail construction for optimal long-range ballistics
- J4 precision jacket ensures consistent wall thickness and concentricity
- Lead core bonded for controlled expansion on medium to large game
- Ballistic coefficient of .515 G1 for flat trajectory and wind resistance
- Match-grade manufacturing tolerances maintain sub-MOA accuracy potential
- Proven performance on game from whitetail to elk at hunting distances
- Compatible with standard 308 Winchester chamber specifications
Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion velocities from 1,800 to 3,000 fps, making these bullets suitable for various hunting scenarios from timber hunting to open country shots. The hybrid design maintains accuracy advantages of match bullets while providing the terminal performance hunters require. Weather-resistant packaging protects bullet integrity during storage and transport.
