Lede7mm PRC Elite Hunter

New for 2026, Berger is expanding its Elite Hunter ammunition line to include two new 7mm PRC cartridge offerings.

Berger's 7mm PRC Elite Hunter ammo builds upon the promise of excellent exterior ballistics coupled with long-range terminal performance. It features the 175 Grain Elite Hunter projectile with an impressive 0.336 G7 Ballistic Coefficient (BC) and the heaviest-in-class 195 Grain Elite Hunter which boasts an industry-leading 0.387 BC.

Berger Elite Hunter projectiles and ammunition feature a sleek, high BC hybrid-ogive profile design for hunters who demand an ethical long-range precision solution. Elite Hunters provide 2-3 inches of penetration before producing extreme hydrostatic shock and a massive wound cavity through the vitals. Energy is deposited where it's most effective—inside the animal. Elite Hunter bullets utilize Berger's J4 Hunting Jacket, which is held to the tightest tolerances measuring less than .0003-inches TIR (total indicated runout).

Berger Production Engineer Bob Stokes shared, "Our goal with the new 7mm PRC Elite Hunter was to deliver cartridge offerings without equal in both exterior and terminal ballistic performance, instilling confidence while in the field. Your 7mm PRC platform was built for long-range precision; your ammunition should be too."

Recipe: Deep-Rooted Venison Stew

Several friends and I often circle back to the same campfire debate about which wild game makes the best stew. Mule deer usually leads the pack, with moose close behind, but any well-handled game meat can stand out when you build the right layers of flavor. The real magic starts long before the broth simmers. It comes from the vegetables and mushrooms you choose.
