Berger Bullets 30 Caliber (0.308″) 185gr Hybrid Boat Tail bullets (Model 30571) deliver precision and reliability in a 100-count box designed for reloaders who demand factory rifle performance. These Classic Hunter bullets are specially designed to conform to SAAMI industry dimensional standards and are engineered to feed through the magazine of factory rifles while still retaining the bearing surface of the bullet forward of the neck. Whether you’re a competitive shooter or a hunting enthusiast, these rounds combine proven performance with practical functionality.
The Berger Hybrid design makes them less sensitive to seating depth while maintaining the highest possible ballistic coefficient. With a thinner J4 Precision Jacket, these bullets are designed to penetrate 2-3″ and then begin to expand, creating a massive wound cavity up to 15″, with hydrostatic shock that typically causes game animals to drop immediately. The Boat Tail design provides a significant aerodynamic advantage, especially at longer ranges, ensuring stability and accuracy as the bullets transition from transonic to subsonic velocities.
With a grain weight of 185 and a high ballistic coefficient (G1: 0.588, G7: 0.286), these .308 diameter bullets deliver effective close to medium-range hunting performance. The Berger Classic Hunter Series is engineered for the discriminating shooter and outdoorsman, tailored specifically for factory rifle applications where SAAMI length loaded rounds are required—no custom barrels, special twist rates, or reloading tricks needed. Available in stock for USA sales and export to Canada.
