Berger Bullets Berger VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets are among the flattest-shooting hunting bullets available in the industry. The VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets share the same design as VLD Target Rifle Bullets, but feature a thinner J4 Precision Jacket to ensure rapid expansion during hunting applications.
VLD Hunting bullets are engineered to penetrate 2 to 3 inches into the vital area before expansion begins, creating a massive wound cavity of up to 15 inches. This results in maximum organ and tissue damage combined with extreme hydrostatic shock, supporting fast and ethical kills.
The secant ogive (VLD) design reduces aerodynamic drag during flight, allowing the bullet to shoot flatter, experience less wind drift, and retain velocity better than many conventional bullet designs.
A commonly preferred loading technique for VLD bullets is seating them touching the rifling in single-shot applications, although some rifles may perform best with as much as 0.150 inch jump.
Berger VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets are extremely popular for long-range hunting applications and are manufactured using highly consistent J4 Precision Rifle Bullet jackets, widely favored by custom bullet makers.
