Berger 6.5mm 144 Grain Long Range Hybrid Target Bullets
Built for Maximum Long-Range Performance
The 144 LRHT represents the evolution of Berger’s Hybrid design, purpose-built for shooters who demand every possible advantage at distance.
Featuring a refined hybrid ogive profile, the LRHT design is both aerodynamically efficient and jump-tolerant, allowing for excellent performance while still maintaining manageable load development.
This makes it ideal for:
• PRS and NRL competition
• Extended long-range shooting
• High-performance 6.5mm platforms
Industry-Leading BC Consistency
While many bullets focus on achieving a high BC, Berger’s LRHT line is engineered to deliver consistent BC shot-to-shot, which is critical at long range.
Using Meplat Reduction Technology (MRT™), each projectile is manufactured with a highly uniform tip profile, resulting in less than 1% BC variation.
This translates to:
• Reduced vertical dispersion at distance
• More predictable trajectories
• Improved hit probability beyond 1,000 yards
High BC, Reduced Wind Drift
With a G1 BC of approximately 0.655 and G7 BC of 0.336, the 144 LRHT offers outstanding aerodynamic efficiency.
This provides:
• Flatter trajectories
• Reduced wind drift
• Better retained velocity at extended range
Precision Manufacturing
Like all Berger bullets, the 144 LRHT is built using J4 Precision Jackets and strict manufacturing tolerances to ensure:
• Exceptional concentricity
• Consistent weight and dimensions
• Reliable shot-to-shot accuracy
Optimised for Modern 6.5 Platforms
The 144 LRHT is designed to perform in modern high-performance cartridges, including:
• 6.5 Creedmoor
• 6.5 PRC
• .260 Remington
• 6.5×47 Lapua
• 6.5×284
Its design allows shooters to maximise performance in modern long-range rifle systems.
