Berger Classic Hunter 300 WSM Ammo 165 Grain Open Tip Match - 65-75010
Berger Classic Hunter 300 WSM ammo is loaded with a 165 grain open tip match boat tail bullet designed for hunting use at extended ranges. This 300 Winchester Short Magnum load pairs a very low drag projectile with Berger’s Hybrid-style ogive geometry for stable flight characteristics. The bullet uses a boat tail profile to support aerodynamic efficiency downrange. Berger lists a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.533 and a G7 ballistic coefficient of 0.273 for this projectile. The design also includes a G7 form factor of 1.02 as a drag reference compared to the G7 standard. Berger recommends a minimum twist rate of 1:12" or faster for this bullet. It is available in boxes of 20 and cases of 200, and bulk cases ship free through Target Sports USA.

Deep Dive
Overview
This 300 WSM hunting load is suited to medium-to-large game where a flatter trajectory and strong downrange performance are valued. A 165 grain bullet weight is a common choice for hunters who want a balance between velocity, recoil management, and terminal effect. This type of load is typically selected for open-country hunting and longer shot opportunities where external ballistics matter. It is also appropriate for hunters who want a single load that can cover a wide range of field conditions across a season.
History and Development
Berger manufactures bullets and factory-loaded ammunition in the United States with a focus on match-grade production. The company has 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 company’s production team continues to maintain tight build standards across its bullet and ammunition lines.
