Berger 30 Caliber 185gr Very Low Drag (VLD) Hunting Rifle Bullet

The 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 VLD Target Rifle Bullets except 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 and create 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 other designs. A favorite load technique for the VLDs 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 and are built with highly consistent J4 Precision bullet jackets, most favored by custom bullet makers.

• Secant Ogive for reduced drag and flatter trajectory
