Deep Dive
Overview
This ammunition is intended for long-range target shooting and precision rifle applications in 338 Norma Magnum. A 300 grain match bullet weight is commonly selected for extended-range work where projectile stability and retained velocity are important. The open tip match design is used to support consistent bullet geometry and flight characteristics. The boat tail profile is intended to reduce drag and support efficiency at distance. This load fits structured long-range shooting environments where repeatable results are the goal.
History and Development
Berger manufactures bullets and factory-loaded ammunition in the United States with a focus on match-grade production. The company built its reputation in competitive shooting disciplines where consistency and precision are prioritized. Over time, Berger expanded beyond producing projectiles to offering factory ammunition that uses its own bullet designs. Product development has centered on refining bullet geometry and manufacturing processes to support repeatable performance. The production team maintains tight build standards across its bullet and ammunition lines.

Why It Stands Out:
Berger 338 Norma Magnum 300 grain OTM ammunition is a factory match load built for extended-range precision shooting. It pairs a heavy boat tail projectile with Berger’s Hybrid-style ogive profile and a J4 precision jacket. Berger lists high BC values for the bullet, supporting its role in long-range shooting where aerodynamic efficiency is a priority. Temperature-stable propellants and premium cartridge cases are specified as part of the build. This load is packaged for match use and longer training cycles in 20-round boxes and 200-round cases. Bulk cases ship free through Target Sports USA.
