The Berger VLD Hunting 6mm 95gr bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy for hunters demanding precision at extended distances. These Very Low Drag projectiles feature Berger's proven hybrid ogive design that maintains velocity and energy downrange better than conventional hunting bullets.
What Makes This Different
The VLD Hunting design combines a secant ogive nose with a tangent ogive tail, creating superior ballistic coefficients compared to standard hunting bullets. This hybrid profile reduces drag while maintaining consistent flight characteristics across varying atmospheric conditions. The 95-grain weight provides an optimal balance of velocity retention and terminal performance for 6mm cartridges like .243 Winchester, 6mm Creedmoor, and .240 Weatherby Magnum.
Key Features
- Ballistic coefficient of 0.473 (G1) for exceptional long-range performance
- J4 Precision jacket construction ensures consistent wall thickness and concentricity
- Hybrid ogive design optimizes accuracy across multiple seating depths
- 95-grain weight ideal for medium game hunting at extended ranges
- Boat tail base design reduces base drag and improves stability
- Match-grade manufacturing tolerances for consistent shot-to-shot performance
- Compatible with all standard 6mm/.243 caliber rifles and cartridges
Field testing demonstrates these bullets maintain over 1,000 ft-lbs of energy at 500 yards when fired from appropriate 6mm cartridges. The VLD design excels in hunting scenarios where precise shot placement matters most, from open country mule deer hunts to long-range varmint control. The bullets perform reliably in temperature extremes and crosswind conditions that challenge conventional projectiles.
