The Source Behind the Bullet
Walt Bergers ideals and values are the foundation from which Berger Bullets operates. He
began producing hand-made rifle bullets in 1955 so that he could achieve superior results
while shooting competitively. Walt recognized the market need for a superior product that
would advance the shooting industry and push the boundaries of accuracy. Walt used his new
bullets to shoot his way into the prestigious Bench Rest Hall of Fame. Over the decades, Walt
has won local, Regional, National and World Championships. His success has earned him the
recognition as a top bench rest shooter and a pioneer in precision bullet manufacturing.
Today, Walt continues to stay directly involved with advising the Berger team in an ongoing
effort to ensure that Berger Bullets continues to be recognized as the gold standard for
precision rifle bullets. His leadership and innovation have enabled us to broaden our bullet
offerings to include Match Grade Varmint, Target, Hunting and Tactical applications.
Every product line we manufacture is produced to the same Match Grade standards using
the highest quality materials and tooling. We strive to continue as Walt started over 60
years ago, focusing our attention on the details that are critical to making a highly accurate
and dimensionally consistent bullet.
