Berger Elite Hunter Bullets are made with the longest possible hybrid ogive (nose). Elite hunters utilize the same industry-leading hybrid ogive as our hybrid target bullets, the #1 choice of nearly every competitive long range shooting discipline, but with a thinner J4 jacket that allows rapid expansion on game. Hybrid gives have a very aggressive VLD style shape towards the tip of the bullet, but transform into a traditional tangent shape closer to the bearing surface, allowing for higher BCS while still being very easy to tune and much less sensitivity to seating depth. The long-nosed hybrid profile that the elite hunter projectiles are designed with produce the highest possible ballistic coefficients in an easy to load and shoot bullet. As a result, when loading this bullet into berger ammunition we are able to get results that are on par with hand loads when it comes to accuracy and performance.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 6.5 Creedmoor was introduced by Hornady in 2008. Uniquely, it was designed for accuracy with long-range competition in mind. Using a 308 Winchester (30 TC, 300 Savage) case shortened to 1.920 inches, it will feed through the shortest existing bolt actions, but remains supersonic to well beyond 1000 yards. Standard velocity is a 140-grain .264-inch bullet at 2820 fps, also making it an effective but mild-recoiling medium-range hunting cartridge. The 6.5 Creedmoor was introduced with little fanfare, but after it started winning matches shooters took notice. This is an unusual phenomenon for a cartridge to suddenly "take off" years after its introduction, but that's the story of the 6.5 Creedmoor--after about 2016 it became one of the most-talked-about cartridges, with both rifle and ammunition offerings expanding rapidly.
