The Berger Bullets 6.5mm Creedmoor 156gr Elite Hunter Ammo is designed for hunters seeking maximum performance from their 6.5 Creedmoor rifles. These rounds feature Berger's Elite Hunter Bullets with an industry-leading long nosed hybrid ogive, blending tangent and secant designs to optimize efficiency, reduce wind-drift, and minimize sensitivity to seating depth. The thinner J4 Precision Jacket allows for rapid expansion on game animals. Elite Hunters are engineered to penetrate 2-3 inches before expanding, creating a massive wound cavity up to 15 inches. This devastating performance often results in immediate drops due to hydrostatic shock.
