Product Overview
Best Uses for Berger Elite Hunter .300 PRC 245gr OTM Ammo
The Berger Elite Hunter .300 PRC 245gr OTM represents the ultimate expression of long-range hunting ammunition, combining Berger's legendary match-grade accuracy with a bullet designed specifically for terminal performance on game. With an exceptional 0.807 G1 ballistic coefficient and 4115 ft-lbs of muzzle energy at 2750 fps, this heavyweight load maintains supersonic velocity and killing energy at distances where other ammunition has long since become marginal. The hybrid ogive design balances jump tolerance with aerodynamic efficiency, delivering consistent accuracy from a wide variety of rifles.
This ammunition is purpose-built for hunters who pursue elk, moose, and large bears at extreme distances, particularly in the open terrain of the western United States, Canada, and mountain environments worldwide. The heavy 245-grain bullet bucks wind better than any other factory .300 PRC load, providing a decisive advantage when shooting across canyons or in the unpredictable winds common at high altitude. The OTM (Open Tip Match) design penetrates several inches before expansion begins, ensuring the bullet reaches vital organs even on steep quartering angles.
Serious long-range hunters who have invested in quality optics, rangefinders, and ballistic calculators will find this ammunition maximizes their equipment's potential. The combination of extreme BC and substantial energy makes it possible to ethically harvest big game at distances previously considered impractical with factory ammunition. Hunters who handload often use this factory ammunition as a benchmark, and many find that it shoots as well or better than their own carefully developed recipes.
