Berger VLD Hunting Rifle Bullet is one of the flattest shooting hunting rifle bullets in the industry. VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets are identical in design to Berger VLD Target Rifle Bullet except they utilize a thinner J4 Precision Jacket for rapid expansion during game applications. VLD Hunting bullets are designed to penetrate 2–3″ into the vitals and then begin to expand, creating a massive wound cavity up to 15″. This delivers maximum organ/tissue damage and extreme hydrostatic shock aiding in an ethical kill. VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets incorporate a secant ogive design which allows the bullet to experience less drag as it travels to the target. This reduced drag is why the VLD shoots flatter, experiences less wind-drift, and has a higher retained velocity than others. A favorite load technique for the VLD’s is touching the rifling for single-shot applications, although some rifles may prefer as much as .150″ from the rifling. Berger VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets are extremely popular for long-range hunting applications. Built with highly consistent J4 Precision Rifle Bullet jackets, they are favored by custom bullet makers.
