Berger .30 245gr Long Range Hybrid Target (LRHT) – 100 ct.

A heavy LRHT bullet for extreme-distance shooting (1500 m+), developed in cooperation with US Elite Forces. The hybrid ogive (tangent + secant) makes tuning easier and offers high tolerance to jump, while MRT™ (Meplat Reduction Technology) delivers a highly consistent BC—crucial in wind and at long range. Recommended for the big .30s (300 PRC, 300 Norma Mag, 300 RUM, etc.).

Most praised by users (groups & forums)

• Real, high, and repeatable BC – shooters note less wind drift vs. lighter .30 bullets (e.g., 215 gr) and better energy retention beyond 1000 m.

• Stability & twist – works with 1:9" (minimum); many report 1:8.5"–1:8" adds safety margin in colder/denser air.

• “Jump-tolerant” Hybrid – easier to tune across different chambers and magazines vs. pure secant ogives; MRT™ supports flight consistency.

• J4 Target Jacket – very high jacket concentricity, translating into tight groups and repeatability at long range.

• Built for large case capacity – real gains show up in 300 PRC/Norma/RUM; users note overall length requires an appropriate throat/mag setup in repeaters.

Key advantages

• Doppler-verified BC: G1 0.846, G7 0.433 (low BC variation <1%).

• Hybrid ogive – easier tuning + flatter trajectory and reduced drift.

• MRT™ – uniform meplat for maximum shot-to-shot consistency.

Applications / compatibility

• Optimized for large-capacity .30s: 300 PRC, 300 Norma Magnum, 300 RUM and similar—aiming to boost hit percentage at 1500 m+.

• Note: Standard .308 Win typically lacks both case capacity and (often) twist to fully stabilize/utilize this bullet—LRHT 245 gr was purpose-built for the “big .30s”.

What sets the 245 gr LRHT apart in practice?

• Fewer wind surprises – thanks to consistent BC and 245-gr mass.

• Flexible tuning – the hybrid ogive tolerates varied jumps and chambers, shortening the path to a good node.

• Build quality – J4 jackets with very low TIR underpin match-grade ammunition repeatability.
