Berger Bullets continue to develop and release new interesting bullets for sports shooters and hunters that like to make their own ammunition. Their new 30 Caliber 205 Grain Elite Hunter is purpose-made for hunters that are using calibers like 30 Nosler, 300 Win Mag, 300 Ultra Mags, 300 PRC, and other 30 caliber long-range hunting platforms.

This bullet incorporates a slightly thinner J4 Precision hunting jacket, which allows the projectile to penetrate 2″ to 3″ before rapidly expanding. Upon expansion, the projectile sheds most of its weight producing extreme hydrostatic shock and a massive wound cavity in the vital area.
