Berger Long Range Hybrid Target 6.5 Creedmoor 144 Grain LRHT (MPN: 65-31081)
Precision rifle competitors, PRS/NRL marksmen, and extreme long-range target shooters running the 6.5 Creedmoor platform require match-grade factory ammunition that provides razor-thin velocity spreads, ultra-consistent ballistic coefficients (BC), and predictable flight dynamics past 1,000 yards. Berger Bullets engineered their Long Range Hybrid Target (LRHT) 144-grain 6.5 Creedmoor loading specifically to satisfy these elite competitive demands. Purpose-built to eliminate bullet-to-bullet BC variations caused by tip inconsistencies, this match cartridge delivers championship-winning precision right out of the box.
At the foundation of Berger’s 6.5mm LRHT load is their revolutionary 144-grain Long Range Hybrid Target projectile utilizing Meplat Reduction Technology (MRT). By applying a proprietary hollow-point tip-shaping process, Berger secures an exceptionally uniform meplat on every bullet, increasing BC consistency by up to 8% compared to conventional target designs. The hybrid ogive profile intelligently combines a secant ogive for reduced aerodynamic drag with a tangent ogive to make the projectile exceptionally forgiving to seating depth and chamber jump tolerances.
On the firing line, expect flat long-range trajectories, crisp ignition, and effortless bolt cycling. Propelling its 144-grain LRHT projectile at a factory-rated muzzle velocity of approximately 2,830 FPS, this 6.5 Creedmoor loading cuts through crosswinds with ease while remaining supersonic well beyond traditional 1,000-yard targets. Berger pairs these high-grade projectiles with premium match-grade brass cases, clean-burning temperature-stable propellants, and ultra-consistent match primers to yield single-digit velocity standard deviations (SD).
Armorer Bench Notes & Technical Maintenance Guidance
Shipping Restrictions: Ammunition sales are strictly regulated. Check all state and local laws prior to ordering. Cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally. Must ship via ORM-D / Hazardous Ground transport.
Armorer Tip: The heavy 144-grain Long Range Hybrid Target bullet features a high-BC secant/tangent hybrid ogive that stabilizes optimally in barrel twist rates of 1:8" or faster. When shooting precision bolt-action or semi-automatic platforms (such as AR-10/SR-25 rifles) at extreme ranges, keep your receiver torque specs, scope mount fasteners, and barrel crown clean of carbon buildup to realize true sub-MOA precision.
