The Berger 26403 VLD Target bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy for precision shooters demanding consistent performance at extended distances. These 130-grain projectiles feature Berger's proven Very Low Drag (VLD) design that maintains velocity and reduces wind drift beyond 600 yards. Competition shooters and precision rifle 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 reduces drag by 40% compared to traditional tangent ogive bullets. This advanced geometry creates a higher ballistic coefficient (G1 BC of 0.563) that translates to flatter trajectories and less wind deflection at long range. The J4 jacket construction ensures uniform expansion and weight retention, while the boat tail base design minimizes base drag for extended supersonic flight.
Key Features
- Very Low Drag (VLD) secant ogive design for superior ballistic coefficient
- 130-grain weight optimized for 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge performance
- J4 precision jacket with 0.0003" wall thickness tolerance
- Boat tail base design reduces drag and extends supersonic range
- Match-grade consistency with ±0.3 grain weight variation
- 100 bullets per box for extended range sessions
- Compatible with standard 6.5mm (.264") bore diameter rifles
These bullets excel in competitive precision rifle matches where sub-MOA accuracy at 1,000+ yards separates winners from the field. The high ballistic coefficient maintains energy downrange for consistent terminal performance on steel targets and game animals. Weather-resistant construction performs reliably in temperature extremes from -20°F to 140°F without significant point-of-impact shifts.
