Berger 25513 VLD Hunting 25 Cal 115gr Bullets - 100 Count Box

The Berger 25513 VLD Hunting bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy and terminal performance for precision shooters. These .25 caliber 115-grain projectiles feature Berger's proven Very Low Drag (VLD) design that maintains velocity and energy at extended distances. Built specifically for hunting applications, they provide reliable expansion and deep penetration on game animals.

What Makes This Different

The VLD design incorporates a secant ogive profile with a boat tail base, creating significantly lower drag coefficients than conventional hunting bullets. This aerodynamic advantage translates to flatter trajectories and reduced wind drift at long range. The J4 precision jacket ensures consistent wall thickness and concentricity, while the lead core is swaged to exact specifications for optimal weight distribution.

Key Features

• 115-grain weight optimized for .25 caliber cartridges including .257 Roberts, .25-06, and .257 Weatherby
• G1 ballistic coefficient of approximately 0.466 for superior downrange performance
• J4 precision jacket with 0.0003-inch wall thickness tolerance
• Secant ogive profile reduces drag and improves accuracy potential
• Lead core swaged to 0.0001-inch weight consistency
• Boat tail base design minimizes base drag and turbulence
• 100 bullets per box for consistent lot-to-lot performance

Field testing demonstrates these bullets maintain over 1,800 fps velocity at 300 yards when fired from a .25-06 at standard velocities. The VLD design excels in bolt-action rifles with 1:10 twist rates, though 1:9 twist barrels may show improved stability with heavier bullets. Hunters report reliable expansion on medium game from 100 to 400 yards, with the secant ogive providing the precision needed for ethical long-range shots.
