Berger 22 Caliber (0.224) 85.5 Grain Hybrid Target Rifle Bullet [100/Box]

First and foremost all Berger Bullets are “Match” grade. Berger mates J4 bullet jackets with lead core to produce some of the highest quality bullets in the world. The Berger Hybrid was born of work of Berger Chief Ballistician, Bryan Litz. The Hybrid design blends the best of both worlds by incorporating two different shapes within the nose. As the bearing surface ends, a tangent ogive begins. This tangent section of the ogive results in the bullet being much less sensitive to seating depth. As you move forward along the tangent portion, the shape changes into a secant ogive (the shape used on the VLD bullets). This shape is very efficient in the wind and is why the VLD became so popular.

This new 85.5gr bullets boast smaller, more uniform meplats, giving them a higher long-range BC. The meplat enhancement is achieved with “Meplat Reeduction Techonolgy” (MRT). Berger Engineer Garett Stoddard, who spearheaded the MRT project, explains: “Every bullet nose is formed with optimal swage pressure determined by force instead of length. In addition to reducing a projectile’s drag by shrinking its meplat diameter, this technique takes the inherent meplat inconsistencies that plague OTM style projectiles and brings them closer to the rotational axis
