Berger 6.5mm 140 Gr Match VLD Hunting Bullets (100 Ct)

Berger 6.5mm 140 Gr Match VLD Hunting Bullets (100 Ct)

The Berger VLD Hunting Rifle Bullet is one of the flattest shooting hunting rifle bullets in the industry. VLD Hunting bullets are identical in design to Berger's VLD Target bullets except they use a thinner J4 Precision jacket for rapid expansion on game. 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 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 higher retained velocity. A favorite load technique for VLDs is touching the rifling for single-shot applications, although some rifles may prefer as much as .150" from the rifling. Berger VLD Hunting bullets are extremely popular for long range hunting applications and are built with highly consistent J4 Precision bullet jackets, most favored by custom bullet makers.

VLD Hunting Features

• Secant Ogive: Berger VLD (Very Low Drag) bullets use a secant ogive, an aggressive ogive shape that provides a reduced drag factor, resulting in flatter shooting with less wind drift.
• Consistent Core: Berger's exacting core manufacturing process means you don't have to worry about sorting by weight. This gives you more reliable drop, consistent BC, and better accuracy.
• Boat Tail: Boat tail bullets provide an aerodynamic advantage at longer ranges over flat base bullets, especially while transitioning from transonic to subsonic velocities.
• J4 Hunting Jacket: J4 Precision bullet jackets are the #1 choice of custom bullet manufacturers and are held to a +/- .0003" tolerance. J4 hunting jackets are produced slightly thinner to allow 2-3" of penetration before rapidly expanding, producing extreme hydrostatic shock and a massive wound cavity.
