Berger 308 Winchester 185 Gr Classic Hunter Ammunition
Berger’s 308 Winchester 185 Grain Classic Hunter rifle ammunition is a modern twist on a classic hunting round. The 308 Winchester has been a favorite for generations and continues to be a staple cartridge for hunting game of all sizes.
The 30 Caliber 185 Grain Classic Hunter Rifle Bullet is where the magic of this round comes from. This Rifle Bullet features a specialty hybrid shape which was designed to maximize Rifle Bullet BC while keeping the Rifle Bullet relatively short in comparison to other hybrid Rifle Bullets, which allows it to feed through magazine fed rifles effectively. This gives you the highest performing Rifle Bullet in its weight class that can shoot out of standard factory hunting rifle with a magazine. The slightly heavier 185 grain class Rifle Bullet gives you a better ballistic coefficient and more stopping power at a small amount of velocity loss over its 168 grain counterpart. It is ideal for a factory bolt rifle with a 1:12″ twist or faster.
We load this round with premium 308 Winchester brass, a temperature stable powder, and a match grade primer to ensure that the round will perform exactly as expected in varied temperatures and altitudes. If you have a factory 308 Winchester rifle that uses a magazine, this is an ideal round for hunting small, medium, and even some larger game such as elk.
Hybrid Ogive
Hybrid Ogives blend the best aspects of tangent and secant nose shapes into one ogive. Near the bearing surface, the shape starts off as a tangent, which makes it easy to tune, then transitions to a secant ogive, which results in a flatter trajectory and less wind drift.
Consistent Core
Our exacting core manufacturing process is one of the reasons when you buy a box of Berger, you don’t have to worry about sorting by weight. This gives you more reliable drop, consistent BC, and better accuracy.
Boat Tail
Boat Tail bullets provide an aerodynamic advantage at longer ranges over their flat base counterparts, especially while transitioning from transonic to subsonic velocities.
J4 Hunting Jacket
J4 Precision Bullet Jackets are the #1 choice of custom bullet manufacturers. They are the most consistent and concentric copper jackets in the world holding an unprecedented +/- .0003” tolerance. J4 hunting jackets are produced slightly thinner to allow for 2-3″” of penetration before rapidly expanding, producing extreme hydrostatic shock and a massive wound cavity.
