Berger 25 Cal 135gr Long Range Hybrid Target Rifle Bullets

Berger 25 Cal 135gr Long Range Hybrid Target Rifle Bullets

The Berger 25 Cal 135gr Long Range Hybrid Target Rifle Bullets are match-grade projectiles designed for long-range precision shooters using .257″ (25 Cal) bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles. These bullets feature Berger’s patented hybrid ogive, which blends tangent and secant profiles, combined with a full-length boat-tail to deliver high ballistic efficiency, minimal drag, and consistent accuracy from 600 to beyond 1,000 yards.

Each Berger 25 Cal 135gr Long Range Hybrid Target Rifle Bullet is produced to Berger’s rigorous manufacturing standards, using a concentric copper-alloy jacket over a precision lead core. Total Indicated Runout is maintained within ±0.0001″, ensuring uniform flight and repeatable downrange performance. This consistency eliminates the need for hand sorting and helps shooters achieve reliable sub-MOA groups in competition or training.

Key specifications of the Berger 25 Cal 135gr Long Range Hybrid Target Rifle Bullets include a bullet diameter of 0.257″, weight of 135gr, and a G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.625 (G7 ≈ 0.325). The sectional density is 0.320, and the overall length measures roughly 1.420″. These bullets stabilize best in barrels with a 1‑9″ twist or faster, delivering flat trajectories and dependable flight through the transonic zone.

Handloaders favor the Berger 25 Cal 135gr Long Range Hybrid Target Rifle Bullets for their consistent behavior with slow- to medium-burning powders like Hodgdon H4350, Alliant Reloder 19, and Vihtavuori N150. When paired with match-grade primers such as CCI BR4 or Federal 205M, these bullets achieve stable velocities with low standard deviation, supporting accuracy in PRS, F-Class, and long-range shooting scenarios.

The hybrid ogive and boat-tail profile of the 25 Cal 135gr Long Range Hybrid Target Bullet minimize wind drift and enhance downrange consistency. Shooters note that this design supports smooth chambering, consistent seating depth, and reliable feeding in both single-shot and magazine-fed rifles. The aerodynamic profile also helps maintain supersonic speeds at extended ranges with minimal vertical dispersion.

Built for real-world performance, the Berger 25 Cal 135gr Long Range Hybrid Target Rifle Bullets combine precision manufacturing with advanced design features that make them ideal for competitive shooters looking to push their .257-caliber platforms to the limit. Their reputation for consistency and accuracy makes them a trusted component in demanding long-range conditions.
