Berger 30 Cal 175gr Long Range BT Target Rifle Bullets

The Berger 30 Cal 175gr Long Range BT Target Rifle Bullets are elite match-grade projectiles engineered for ultra-long-range precision in .308‑caliber bolt-action and magazine-fed rifles. Featuring a tandem boat-tail (long-range boat-tail) profile paired with a high-sectional-density spitzer ogive, these bullets offer exceptional aerodynamic performance, reduced drag, and precise downrange consistency from 600 to 1,200 yards.

Each Berger 30 Cal 175gr Long Range BT Target Rifle Bullet is manufactured to match-grade standards using a concentric copper-alloy J4 target jacket and a precision lead core. Total Indicated Runout is tightly controlled to maintain uniform muzzle velocity and sub-MOA shot-to-shot accuracy without hand-sorting.

Key specifications include a bullet diameter of 0.308″, exact weight of 175 gr, sectional density of 0.283, G1 BC ≈ 0.610, and G7 BC ≈ 0.305. Overall length is approximately 1.402″. Berger recommends a minimum barrel twist rate of 1:10″ to fully stabilize these long, heavy-for-caliber bullets in supersonic and transonic flight.

Reloaders and precision shooters favor the Berger 30 Cal 175gr Long Range BT Target Rifle Bullets for their performance with powders like Hodgdon Retumbo, Alliant Reloder 22, or Vihtavuori N160, paired with match primers (CCI BR4 or Federal 205M). These load combinations deliver low velocity variances, clean throat conditioning, and tightly clustered groupings—ideal for F-Class, PRS, and ELR competitions.

The long-range boat-tail base minimizes drag and enhances wind resistance, while the spitzer ogive provides seating-depth flexibility. Shooters report reliable magazine feeding, consistent chamber alignment, and repeatable point-of-impact—making the Berger 30 Cal 175gr Long Range BT Target Rifle Bullets a preferred choice for serious long-range marksmanship.
