22 Caliber (0.224'') 80.5gr Boat Tail 1,000/box

The 22 Caliber (0.224'') 80.5gr Boat Tail bullets from Berger are engineered for precision rifle shooters who demand match-grade performance in competitive and tactical applications. This 1,000-round bulk box is purpose-built for high-volume shooters, handloaders, and training operations where consistency and accuracy are non-negotiable. Boat tail design reduces drag and extends effective range, making these bullets ideal for varmint hunting, long-range target competition, and precision rifle training where every shot counts.

Berger's boat tail geometry minimizes aerodynamic yaw, stabilizing the projectile in flight and delivering superior ballistic coefficients compared to flat-base alternatives. The 80.5-grain weight optimizes velocity and energy retention across standard .224-inch rifle platforms, achieving tight velocity spreads essential for sub-MOA accuracy. Berger's manufacturing tolerances ensure minimal bullet-to-bullet weight variation, a critical factor in precision handloading where consistency directly translates to tighter shot groups and more reliable performance at extended distances. The 1,000-round packaging reduces per-unit cost for high-volume operations while maintaining the quality control standards law enforcement and military precision shooters rely on.

These bullets are compatible with all standard .224-inch bore rifles, including popular platforms like the AR-15, bolt-action precision rifles, and dedicated varmint guns. Handloaders benefit from Berger's consistent case neck fit and reliable seating characteristics, while shooters running high-round-count training cycles gain substantial cost efficiency through bulk purchasing. The 12-pound box weight requires appropriate storage and handling, making this format ideal for range operations, training facilities, and serious competitors who maintain consistent shooting schedules.
