Berger 338 Cal 250gr Elite Hunter Rifle Bullets

The Berger 338 Cal 250gr Elite Hunter Rifle Bullets are long-range hunting projectiles designed for use in .338″ bolt-action and magnum-class rifles. Built with Berger’s hybrid ogive and a boat-tail base, these bullets combine aerodynamic efficiency with controlled expansion and deep penetration, delivering consistent terminal performance on large game at extended ranges.

Each Berger 338 Cal 250gr Elite Hunter Rifle Bullet is manufactured to match-grade tolerances using a precision-formed lead core and Berger’s J4 hunting jacket. The thinner jacket is engineered to allow penetration of 2–3″ before rapid expansion, resulting in wide wound cavities and effective hydrostatic shock for ethical big game harvests.

Key specifications include a bullet diameter of 0.338″, weight of 250gr, sectional density of 0.313, and an overall length of approximately 1.630″. The ballistic coefficients are rated at G1 BC = 0.685 and G7 BC = 0.351. Berger recommends a minimum twist rate of 1:12″ to stabilize the heavy-for-caliber bullet profile across all velocity ranges.

These bullets are optimized for use in large-capacity cartridges like the 338 Lapua Magnum, 338 Remington Ultra Magnum, and 338 Edge. The hybrid ogive reduces drag and wind drift while allowing for flexible seating depth and smooth feeding from detachable box magazines or internal magazines.

Hunters choose the Berger 338 Cal 250gr Elite Hunter Rifle Bullets for their ability to retain velocity and energy at distance, while providing consistent terminal results. When loaded with slow-burning powders and paired with magnum rifle primers, they offer tight groups, stable external ballistics, and reliable expansion for elk, moose, and other large-bodied game.
