SKU: Berger: 338 Lapua Magnum 250gr Elite Hunter, 20/Box | Manufacturer ID: 65-81060

Berger's 338 Lapua Magnum 250 Grain Elite Hunter rifle ammunition was designed with long range and large game hunting in mind. The 338 Lapua Magnum cartridge was designed to have an effective range that exceeds a mile in military scenarios and picked up popularity for it's reliable capabilities. With large Rifle Bullets being shot at high velocities, this cartridge quickly became a favorite for long range and big game hunting, even being used for dangerous game hunting. The 338 Caliber 250 Grain Elite Hunter utilizes Berger's industry-leading hybrid ogive, which blends tangent and secant designs to optimize efficiency, reduce wind-drift, and minimize sensitivity to seating depth. The 250 Grain weight allows for a higher velocity load at the cost of BC over our 300 grain offering. Both hunting offerings are built using our J4 Precision Hunting Jackets, which are a thinner Rifle Bullet jacket that is designed to penetrate into the animal 2-3 before rapidly expanding, dumping the majority of its energy inside the animal in a way no other Rifle Bullets do. We load this round with premium 338 Lapua Magnum 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. Whether you are hunting large game or at extended distances, this round is an excellent choice. Hybrid OgiveHybrid 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 CoreOur 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 TailBoat Tail bullets provide an aerodynamic advantage at longer ranges over their flat base counterparts, especially while transitioning from transonic to subsonic velocities. J4 Hunting JacketJ4 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. Specification.
