Berger Long Range Hybrid Target (LRHT) 6.5 Creedmoor 144gr ammunition (brand part no. 31081) was engineered specifically around the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge after Berger’s ballistics team tested weights across the 140 to 150 grain range and settled on 144 grains as the sweet spot for Precision Rifle Series competition. Berger Bullets adds its proprietary Meplat Reduction Technology to the process, trimming inconsistencies at the bullet tip to raise ballistic coefficient while shrinking BC variation from round to round. The Hybrid ogive shape, part secant and part tangent, keeps drag low while making seating depth repeatable at the reloading bench or the factory line. Long-range shooters chasing the smallest possible group at distance built their case around loads exactly like this one.
Key Specifications

- The bullet weighs 144 grains, the weight Berger’s testing found to be the sweet spot for 6.5 Creedmoor PRS competition.
- Muzzle velocity runs 2830 fps, giving a flat trajectory for reading wind at extended distances.
- The bullet carries Berger’s Long Range Hybrid Target (LRHT) ogive, a secant-tangent hybrid shape that lowers drag and eases seating consistency.
- Berger applies Meplat Reduction Technology to each bullet, trimming tip inconsistencies to raise ballistic coefficient and shrink BC variation.
- The case is brass, giving reloaders a reliable platform to work from after the first firing.
- The cost works out to $2.39 per round, priced for shooters who demand match consistency at distance.
- Each box holds 20 rounds, enough for a practice session or a PRS match stage.
- This is a target bullet built for accuracy, not terminal expansion, making it a paper and steel round rather than a hunting load.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Meplat Reduction Technology do? It trims tiny inconsistencies at the bullet tip, raising ballistic coefficient and cutting BC variation from bullet to bullet.
Why 144 grains for 6.5 Creedmoor? Berger’s engineers tested weights between 140 and 150 grains and found 144 grains struck the best balance of BC and stability for the cartridge.
Is this bullet meant for hunting? No, the LRHT is a target bullet designed for accuracy on paper and steel, not for terminal expansion on game.
