The Berger 24429 VLD Target bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy for precision shooters demanding consistent performance at extended distances. These 6mm 105-grain projectiles feature Berger's proven Very Low Drag (VLD) design that maintains velocity and reduces wind drift beyond 600 yards. Competition shooters and long-range enthusiasts rely on these bullets for their superior ballistic coefficient and match-grade consistency.
What Makes This Different
The VLD Target design incorporates a secant ogive profile that creates less drag than traditional tangent ogive bullets, resulting in flatter trajectory and retained energy at distance. While standard hunting bullets prioritize expansion, these target bullets focus purely on accuracy and ballistic performance. The J4 jacket construction ensures uniform wall thickness within 0.0003 inches, delivering shot-to-shot consistency that separates precision ammunition from standard projectiles.
Key Features
- 105-grain weight optimized for 6mm cartridges including .243 Winchester and 6mm Creedmoor
- VLD (Very Low Drag) secant ogive design reduces air resistance by 15-20% compared to tangent ogive bullets
- J4 precision jacket with wall thickness tolerance of ±0.0003 inches
- Ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.545 (G1) for superior long-range performance
- Match-grade consistency with weight variation under 0.3 grains
- Boat tail base design stabilizes flight and reduces base drag
- 100-count packaging provides sufficient quantity for load development and competition
These bullets excel in competitive precision rifle matches where sub-MOA accuracy at 1,000 yards determines placement. The high ballistic coefficient maintains supersonic velocity beyond 1,200 yards in most 6mm cartridges, while the consistent manufacturing ensures predictable point of impact. Weather conditions affect these projectiles less than conventional bullets due to their aerodynamic efficiency and uniform construction.
