Bullet Design and Intended Use
The Hybrid OTM Tactical bullet uses a hybrid ogive, open tip, boat-tail, consistent core, and J4 Precision jacket. Berger designed it for reliable magazine feeding and efficient performance in AR-style and other 6.5 Creedmoor rifles.
This is a precision target and tactical load. Berger does not market the OTM design as a hunting-expansion bullet or a personal-defense load.
