Berger 25 cal 133 gr Elite Hunter
Elite Hunter is the long-nose hybrid — a tangent section where the bullet meets the rifling, blending into a secant nose. That combination is far less fussy about seating depth than a VLD, which is the point of it. You get most of the BC without spending a week at the bench finding the node.
Its G7 form factor is 0.914. Anything under 1.0 means less drag than the G7 standard, and 0.914 puts this among the more efficient bullets Berger makes — it holds velocity and shrugs off wind better than its weight alone suggests.
Of everything Berger lists in 25 Cal, this carries the highest G7 BC. If you are reaching for the far end of what the calibre will do, this is the one.
Check your twist first. Berger specifies a 1:8" minimum for this bullet. Slower than that and you may still get groups, but you will not get the published BC — the bullet has to be fully asleep to fly to its numbers.
