20rds – 300 WSM Federal 185gr. Berger Hybrid Hunter Ammo

Federal Ammunition 185 Grain Hollow-Point Boat Tail (HP-BT) Ammo Details

This 300 WSM cartridge by Federal exhibits all the fine quality that a Federal cartridge ought to. Its Minnesotan manufacturer has drawn and tapered its brass casing to perfection, so it chambers without issue and will be of great utility at the reloading bench once emptied. Federal’s primer is non-corrosive, which enables it to ignite cleanly and sit content for ages until it’s ready to go. Each of these rounds has a consistent propellant charge and accordingly consistent performance. What’s really interesting about this round, however, is its projectile.

The Berger Hybrid Hunter combines the geometry of the secant ogive and the tangent ogive to deliver the strengths of both and the weaknesses of neither. The bullet’s secant ogive contributes a high ballistic coefficient, so this bullet will shrug off cross winds as it maintains its velocity over exceptionally great distances. Its tangent ogive causes the bullet to self-align with the bore’s riflings, and thus makes it less sensitive to seating depth. Along with its hollow point, this is a bullet that will deliver big the next time you’re in pursuit of whitetail.
