The Berger Elite Hunter .300 PRC 245gr Rifle Ammunition (Berger part no. 55020) is a heaviest-in-class hunting solution for all North American game. It is a 300 PRC load built around a 245-grain bullet from Berger’s Elite Hunter line, rated at 2720 fps. Berger says it delivers over 4,000 ft-lbs of energy with unmatched exterior ballistics from the sleek, high-BC, long-range 245 Grain Elite Hunter projectile. The J4 Hunting Jacket is made slightly thinner so the bullet can penetrate before it expands rapidly. Each box contains 20 rounds.
