New Products from Lapua and Berger at NRA Annual Meetings
Lapua, respected producer of outstanding cartridge cases, bullets, and ammunition, will be attending the 154th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits, scheduled for April 24-27, 2025, in Atlanta, Georgia. “Lapua uses the highest quality materials to provide shooters with components they can rely on” commented Director of Communications Morgan Joy-Twenter. “We encourage shooters and hunters to stop by booth #1916 to check out the wide range of Lapua products, including our new 7mm PRC, 6mm Dasher, and MaxRange Target bullets.”
New Lapua MaxRange Target Bullets
Lapua will offer new high-BC MaxRange Target bullets. These are designed for long-range precision rifle sports such as F-Class, Fullbore, PRS and other disciplines with distant targets, or where a very high-BC can help enhance long-range hits and accuracy. The first MaxRange Target offerings are a 6.5mm 144 grain and a .30 Caliber 175 grain.
New Lapua 6mm Dasher Cartridge Cases
New for 2025, Lapua will offer 6mm Dasher brass. The 6mm Dasher has long been a popular and versatile cartridge for many precision shooting disciplines such as 600-1,000 yard benchrest, varminting, and PRS/NRL competition. It is an extremely accurate cartridge that can drive 103-110gr match bullets at very accurate velocity nodes, and drive lighter 6mm varmint bullets at high speeds. With the new Dasher brass, you no longer need to spend time fire-forming 6mmBR brass into the higher-capacity Dasher. The Lapua 6mm Dasher brass is expected to arrive in Fall 2025.
New Lapua 7mm PRC Cartridge Cases
The 7mm PRC effortlessly delivers heaviest-in-class .284 caliber projectiles, which are coveted in today’s precision shooting and long-range hunting disciplines. F-Class and long-range match shooters have suffered from the lack of quality 7mm PRC cases and ammunition. Now that will change. Lapua will begin offering high-quality 7mm PRC cartridge cases for its loyal followers this fall.
New Bullets and Ammo Types from Berger
Berger, manufacturer of quality bullets and ammunition for competitive shooters and avid hunters, will attend the 154th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Atlanta Georgia. At booth #1916, Berger will showcase its entire product line, including new ammunition and bullet offerings.
For target shooters Berger now offers new .300 Norma Magnum ammunition with the 245 grain Long Range Hybrid Target bullet. This ammo has shown excellent accuracy in testing (see above).

Berger has expanded its hunting ammo line to include .30-06 168 grain and 185 grain Classic Hunter, and .300 WSM 185 grain Classic Hunter. In addition, Berger will offer new hunting bullets in 2025. There’s a new 6.8mm/270 caliber 150 grain Hybrid Target bullet that should work great in .270 Winchester, .277 Fury, and 6.8 Western rifles. Berger will also offer a new 217 grain, .30 caliber Elite Hunter bullet.
