Berger has released a new Elite Hunter Bullet in 108-grain 6mm, for small to midsized game like deer and antelope. Developed for hunters and long-range enthusiasts looking for a high-ballistic-coefficient (BC) projectile, the Elite Hunter delivers a massive hydrostatic shock along with its .287 G7 BC. The hybrid-ogive design, meanwhile, blends tangent and secant designs to optimize efficiency, reduce wind-drift and minimize sensitivity to seating depth. An increased sectional density also helps retain energy upon impact. Pairing well with platforms chambered in 6mm Creedmoor, 6mm Bench Rest, 6x47 Lapua, .243 Winchester, 6mm Remington, and wildcat cartridges like the 6mm XC, the 108-grain Elite Hunter is now shipping to authorized Berger dealers.

The .404 Jeffery dates back to 1905 or 1906, and was supposedly created by W.J. Jeffery & Co. to replicate the performance of the .450/400 3” Nitro Express, but in a bolt-action magazine rifle. But the offspring of that cartridge—as well as those cartridges which were “highly inspired” by the .404 Jeffery—have gotten much more of the spotlight than the .404 ever did.
