Berger .223 73 Gr BT Target Ammunition (20 Ct)

Berger's .223 Remington 73 grain Boat Tail Target load is factory match ammunition built around Berger's 73 gr BT Target bullet. It was designed to give both bolt-gun and gas-gun shooters a premium target round that feeds from standard AR-15 magazines (2.260" COAL) and still carries well to mid-range. It is a good fit for across-the-course and mid-range match shooters, and for anyone who wants consistent factory ammunition for a 1:8" or faster twist .223.

Bullet Design

• Tangent ogive: easy to tune and forgiving of seating depth, performs well at short and long range
• Consistent core: Berger's core process holds weight tight enough that sorting is not necessary, giving reliable drop and consistent BC
• Boat tail: improves aerodynamic efficiency at longer range, especially through the transonic range
• J4 Precision jacket: copper jacket held to +/- .0003" tolerance for minimal dispersion
