Applied Ballistics Spring Seminar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHsqL80KpcE The next Applied Ballistics Seminar will be held May 23-24 at the Dallas/Addison Marriott in Dallas, TX. This two day seminar will cover practical elements of external ballistics. Information will be presented in a general way which applies equally to all long range shooting disciplines (hunting, target, tactical). Topics will be introduced from an academic first principles perspective. Once the scientific basis for the material is established, the ideas are further demonstrated with examples from instrumented live fire. They explain the science, and then present examples of the principles in action. The goal is that you’ll leave with an understanding of the subject [...]
Introducing: The Berger 270 caliber 170 grain Elite Hunter
Berger’s latest addition to the hunting line; the 270 caliber 170 grain Elite Hunter. This bullet is designed for maximum external and terminal ballistic performance in 270 caliber rifles that have twist rates faster than the traditional 1:10”. Nearly all rifles chambered for 270 caliber are fitted with 1:10” twist barrels. This relatively slow twist limits the length, weight and BC of bullets that can be stabilized. Typically, the heaviest 270 bullets are around 150 grains because that is all that can be stabilized in a 1:10” twist. However, if a faster twist barrel is used for a 270 rifle, it can stabilize a [...]
Berger Bullets Twist Rate Recommendations by Eric Stecker & Bryan Litz
At Berger Bullets, enhancing the rifle shooting experience is our primary objective and founding ideal. Keeping our eyes constantly on this prize impacts every aspect of our operation. Our goal is to establish the most accurate and up-to-date information possible, so trajectory predictions while using Berger Bullets are the most precise performance estimates available. This data will be constantly reviewed and refined annually to maintain the accuracy of this information. Recently, we announced an update to our ballistic coefficient (BC), reference dimensions and twist rate recommendations data. The update to the BC and reference dimensions data is the result of years of testing all the [...]
Update of Berger Bullets’ Performance Data
Berger Bullets has always been a leader in evolving the information provided to shooters, helping them make the most educated decisions regarding their bullet choice. Once again, we are pioneering new advances in ballistic performance data. Twist Rate Advancements First, we made new advancements in the area of bullet stability and twist rates. Modern long range bullets have benefits that cannot be fully realized with a single digit twist rate number, such as 1:12”. There is a big gray area of marginal stability in which bullets can fly with good accuracy, but a depressed BC. Recognizing this reality, Berger is now listing a new optimal twist rate. [...]
7mm 195gr EOL Elite Hunter Now Available!
We are thrilled to announce that our recent tests were successful, and our new 7mm 195gr EOL Elite Hunter is now available! This bullet was inspired by Bob Beck, host of Extreme Outer Limits. Bob is building some exciting rifles with the capability of shooting these extremely aggressive bullets. Bryan Litz accepted the challenge of designing this bullet to not only have the highest ballistic performance of any 7mm bullet but also to overcome the difficulties in shooting heavier than standard weights. Bryan’s Hybrid nose design for these bullets is purpose built to exceed all others in BC and be easy to tune in many [...]
7mm 195gr EOL Elite Hunter Testing
We are excited to announce that the new Berger 7mm 195gr Match Grade Extreme Outer Limits (EOL) Elite Hunter is now in the public testing stage. This bullet was inspired by Bob Beck, host of EOL, and designed by Bryan Litz. Bob and EOL are building rifles that are capable of shooting extremely aggressive bullets, so Bryan and Berger Bullets have risen to the challenge of producing such a bullet. The 195gr EOL bullet has the highest ballistic performance of any 7mm bullet currently in existence, and is truly the first of its kind for a number of reasons. The first thing to note about [...]
