Berger 26503 VLD Hunting 6.5 Creedmoor 130gr Bullets 100/Box

The Berger 26503 VLD Hunting bullets deliver match-grade precision engineered specifically for hunting applications in 6.5 Creedmoor chamberings. These 130-grain projectiles combine the ballistic coefficient advantages of Very Low Drag design with controlled expansion characteristics that ensure reliable terminal performance on game.

What Makes This Different

The VLD (Very Low Drag) profile achieves a ballistic coefficient of 0.565 G1, significantly higher than conventional hunting bullets in the same weight class. This translates to flatter trajectories, reduced wind drift, and retained energy at extended ranges. The J4 precision jacket construction maintains concentricity tolerances within 0.0003 inches, delivering consistency that rivals dedicated match bullets while providing the terminal expansion needed for ethical harvests.

Key Features

• 130-grain weight optimized for 6.5 Creedmoor ballistics and barrel twist rates
• 0.565 G1 ballistic coefficient for superior long-range performance
• J4 precision jacket with 0.0003-inch concentricity tolerance
• VLD ogive design reduces drag while maintaining hunting expansion
• Match-grade construction with weight sorting to ±0.3 grains
• Boat tail base design enhances accuracy and reduces base drag
• 100-count packaging for consistent lot numbers and load development

Field testing demonstrates sub-MOA accuracy potential in quality rifle systems, with many shooters achieving 0.5 MOA groups at 100 yards. The bullets maintain supersonic velocity beyond 1,200 yards in standard 6.5 Creedmoor loadings, making them suitable for precision rifle competitions and long-range hunting scenarios. Terminal expansion initiates reliably at impact velocities down to 1,800 fps, providing effective performance on medium game at extended distances.
