The Berger 22727 80.5 Grain .224 Diameter Full Bore Target Bullet is one of the best choices in this diameter on the market today. This bullet, like all Full Bore Target Bullets was designed with a ogive which gives a good BC but is less sensitive to seating depth that a Hybrid Target or VLD design. This forgiving design makes the Berger 80.5 less sensitive to throat erosion than some of its VLD counterparts, so those that load at the beginning of the season will not have their groups open up as the season progresses.
If you have settled on this bullet, the 1000 count box is attractive as they are all the same lot, making reloading simpler going forward.
The Berger Full Bore Target Rifle Bullets are extremely popular for competitive long range applications. Manufactured using the highly consistent J4 Bullet Jacket.
The Berger Twist Calculator indicates that a twist rate of 1 in 10 is required to marginally stabilize this bullet, although in reality you will need 1 in 7 twist minimum to get the best groups.
Berger claim an impressive G7 Ballistic Coefficient of .226 for this bullet .
This bullet is also available in 100 count boxes Berger 22487 80.5 Grain .224 Diameter Full Bore Target HPBT 100 Count.
