The Federal Berger Hybrid Hunter .30-06 Springfield 168gr load (Federal part no. P3006BCH1) is built around a 168-grain bullet and rated at 2800 fps at the muzzle. Federal blends the profile of a low-drag match bullet with a traditional hunting design, using a hybrid nose that combines tangent and secant ogive features. Ballistic coefficients exceed those of comparable designs, and the bullet weights were fine-tuned for accuracy through factory rifles. The load is built with nickel-plated brass, Gold Medal primers and specialized propellant for consistency on medium and big game. This Federal box holds 20 rounds, enough for a sight-in and a day afield.
