The Berger 22418 VLD Target bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy for precision shooters demanding consistent performance at extended distances. These 70-grain projectiles feature Berger's renowned Very Low Drag (VLD) design, engineered to maintain velocity and resist wind drift beyond 600 yards.
What Makes This Different
The VLD Target design incorporates a secant ogive profile that reduces drag coefficient by approximately 15% compared to tangent ogive bullets. This aerodynamic advantage translates to flatter trajectory and retained energy at long range. The jacket thickness varies from base to nose, providing optimal expansion characteristics while maintaining structural integrity during high-velocity flight.
Key Features
- 70-grain weight optimized for .22 caliber high-velocity cartridges
- Very Low Drag (VLD) secant ogive design for superior ballistic coefficient
- J4 precision jacket construction with consistent wall thickness
- Lead core swaged to exact specifications for weight uniformity
- Boat tail base design reduces turbulence and drag
- Compatible with .224" diameter bore rifles including .22-250, .223 Rem, 5.56 NATO
- 100-count packaging for extended range sessions
Competitive shooters rely on these bullets for F-Class and Benchrest competitions where sub-MOA accuracy at 600-1000 yards separates winners from also-rans. The consistent BC of .395 (G1) allows for precise ballistic calculations and repeatable drop compensation. Varmint hunters appreciate the explosive terminal performance on prairie dogs and ground squirrels at ranges exceeding 400 yards.
