Berger Bullets 25586 .257 Caliber 133 Grain Elite Hunter Boat Tail Bullets, 100 Count

Berger Bullets Elite Hunter Bullets are designed for hunters and handloaders seeking consistent accuracy, dependable terminal performance, and streamlined long-range capability. Part number 25586 features a .257 caliber, 133-grain projectile with a boat tail profile and a hybrid ogive. This advanced ogive combines tangent and secant designs to improve aerodynamic efficiency, reduce wind drift, and minimize sensitivity to seating depth. The result is a bullet design that supports reliable load development and consistent performance across a range of hunting applications.

Elite Hunter Bullets share the construction, shape, and performance characteristics of Berger Hybrid Target bullets while incorporating a thinner J4 Precision Jacket. The thinner jacket is engineered to promote rapid expansion on game animals while maintaining the accuracy expected from Berger Bullets. These projectiles are designed to penetrate approximately 2 to 3 inches before beginning to expand, helping create a substantial wound cavity for effective energy transfer and game performance. The copper jacket and copper tip contribute to the bullet’s controlled construction and consistent behavior in flight and on impact.

Each box contains 100 reloading bullets for handloaders assembling custom .257 caliber ammunition. With a .613 ballistic coefficient and .288 sectional density, the Berger Bullets Elite Hunter design is suited to long-range hunting loads where trajectory retention, wind resistance, and terminal performance are important considerations. The boat tail profile helps support efficient flight, while the hybrid ogive can make seating-depth tuning less critical during load development. Part number 25586 is a practical choice for hunters who want a purpose-built hunting bullet with the accuracy characteristics of a match-style design and an expansion-focused jacket.
