U.S. Rifle Team Selects New Berger 200.20X Bullet for 2017 World Championships

F_TR_Shooter_Lifestyle.jpg


Berger Bullets is excited to announce the release of their new .30 caliber 200.20X Hybrid Target Bullet. The 200.20X bullet is the result of extensive research and development in partnership with the U.S. Rifle Team (F-TR), world champion shooters, and accuracy enthusiasts within the long range shooting community.

Berger Chief Ballistician and U.S. Rifle Team (F-TR) member Bryan Litz said, "This is the ideal bullet for F-TR and similar long-range disciplines. The 200.20X has a longer boat tail and nose, with shorter bearing surface which equates to less drag, a higher ballistic coefficient and fewer points lost to the wind. The shorter bearing surface also makes the 200.20X easy to load and shoot in standard chambers. New shooters won't need special reamers or costly gunsmithing to make this bullet perform."

Eric Stecker, President of Berger Bullets said, "We are proud to be the Official Bullet of the U.S. Rifle Team (F-TR). To support our team, Berger Bullets will donate $1.00 for every box of 200.20X bullets sold towards U.S. Team expenses for the upcoming 2017 F-TR World Championships, which will be held at the Connaught Ranges in Ottawa, Canada."

Wonder if Broz might be thinking about another detailed test using this bullet for hunting like he did with the 215. Of course I just bought 500 of the 215's so I'll be using them for quite a while.
 
I wonder what kind of speeds are possible with the 30 Nosler. Might be something I look deeper into once I get my next build completed! Sounds like a very exciting new development for those who've been bitten by the "need for speed" bug!
 
This is pretty cool. Ray Gross, Captain of the US Rifle Team, did some testing on the new 200.20X .308 Bullets. He found that they are just as easy as other Hybrids to get shooting, but also that they reduced the SD in multiple different barrels. Some load hints can be found here too. Powders, reamers, throat etc. Just a little. Improved BC, with Reduced SD from a new bullet design that maintains that non-jump-sensitive ogive... Yes Please!

Any idea on what the maximum velocity and twist rate they can withstand? I'd enjoy sending them out at 3350+ if they can take it.
 
Which Whidden pointing die would be best the zero or the #1
Tried Both and the #1 seems slightly better ???
