Berger 185 Jugg - part #

[Tempest]

Anyone know if Berger changed the part# on this? For years it came with BL10115 sticker on the box. Loading for a match and the latest box I got says, PN 30418.

The BC's are also listed slightly different as well.

Hi,
I went through this some years ago and even emailed Berger and got a reply from Bryan Litz. I use enough of these bullets in a given year so that I now no longer remember totally, what used to be, but in short, what you remember as something like the "BERGER .308 185 GR MATCH TARGET BT LONG RANGE" is now the "185 Juggernaut Target PN 30418". Bryan confirmed that the bullet itself did not change, but the name had. I believe that I remember him writing that while the BC's listed may have changed, what comes on the package now is a re-evaluation that he has been doing of the bullets during his leadership as Ballistician, as well as a broader move to what I think he called a move to a more accurate G7 BC.

I was not quite sure how to put this into words, so Bryan, if you are reading, please forgive me if I was not exactly 100% technically spot on. I think for our purposes, this is accurate enough.

Part #30418 is correct for the 185 Juggernaut Target bullet. FWIW - the 185 Juggernaut OTM Tactical is exactly the same bullet, but has part #30107. Berger has recently updated the BCs of their bullets. Some went down slightly, some went up, others stayed the same. The new BCs and recommended twist rates reflect their most recent test results.

BL10115 is a Bullets.com sku number they use for internal purposes.
30418 is the Berger Bullet part number.
A few months back Berger updated their BCs on most all their bullets.
