Product Overview
Federal's partnership with Berger brings match-grade precision to the hunting fields with this 168-grain Hybrid load. At 2800 fps, it's not trying to win any speed contests – it's built for something far more important: hitting exactly where you aim, even when the wind's howling and the range is pushing your comfort zone. The Hybrid bullet design merges target-shooting accuracy with hunting-grade terminal performance, delivering 2924 ft-lbs of energy with surgical precision.
Take this load into the backcountry, and you'll discover why serious hunters are switching to hybrid designs. That 168-grain bullet strikes the perfect balance between stability and hitting power, especially when shots stretch beyond 300 yards. Unlike traditional hunting bullets that can go sideways in challenging conditions, this projectile cuts through mountain winds and maintains its composure all the way to impact. When that trophy bull steps out across the canyon, you'll have the tools to make it count.
High-altitude hunts and unpredictable weather separate the pretenders from the performers. That's where this load truly excels. The hybrid ogive design means you're not fighting your scope turrets or hoping your holdover is right – you're making first-round hits when it matters most. Match-grade accuracy meets hunting-grade terminal performance, without the usual compromises. Pack these rounds on your next mountain adventure, and you'll understand why some hunters never go back to conventional bullets.
- Hybrid ogive design smooths out accuracy variations from seating depth changes, making it more forgiving in field conditions
- Sweet-spot velocity balances precision with energy retention, particularly beneficial during variable weather conditions
- Exceptional stability across different shooting positions due to optimized weight distribution
- Match-grade construction delivers competition-level accuracy while maintaining hunting capability
- Middle-ground energy output may limit effectiveness compared to heavier hunting loads
- Premium design commands higher price point than traditional target ammunition
- Specialized bullet profile requires proper twist rate for optimal performance
