Developed to take advantage of the extremely accurate 6.5mm bullet, the 6.5-300 is a 300 WBY case necked down from 30 caliber to 6.5mm. The result was the fastest 6.5mm cartridge on the market pushing a 140 gr bullet over 3400 fps.
The Elite Hunter bullet is made with the longest possible hybrid ogive (nose). As the bearing surface ends, the tangent ogive begins, resulting in much less sensitivity to seating depth. As you move beyond the tangent ogive, the shape changes to a secant ogive, maximizing efficiency in the wind. The long-nosed Elite Hunter projectiles produce the highest possible Ballistic Coefficients. Elite Hunter bullets also incorporate 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. Berger Elite Hunter bullets dump their energy where it is most effective – inside the animal.
