Berger 28502 VLD Hunting 7mm 180gr Bullets - 100 Count Box

The Berger 28502 VLD Hunting bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy for serious hunters pursuing big game at extended distances. These 7mm 180-grain projectiles feature the proven Very Low Drag (VLD) design that maintains velocity and energy downrange better than conventional hunting bullets. Built specifically for hunters who demand precision shot placement beyond 300 yards.

What Makes This Different

The VLD (Very Low Drag) profile reduces air resistance by up to 40% compared to standard hunting bullets, resulting in flatter trajectories and higher retained energy at distance. While traditional bullets lose effectiveness beyond 400 yards, these maintain expansion capability out to 800+ yards. The secant ogive design and boat-tail base create a ballistic coefficient of 0.659, significantly higher than most hunting projectiles in this weight class.

Key Features

• 180-grain weight optimized for 7mm magnum cartridges and long-range performance
• VLD boat-tail design with 0.659 G1 ballistic coefficient for superior downrange ballistics
• J4 Precision jacket ensures consistent wall thickness and concentricity
• Secant ogive profile minimizes wind drift and maintains velocity
• Controlled expansion design opens reliably at velocities down to 1,800 fps
• Match-grade construction with ±0.3 grain weight tolerance
• 100-count bulk packaging for serious long-range hunters

Field testing demonstrates these bullets maintain over 1,500 ft-lbs of energy at 500 yards when fired from 7mm Remington Magnum rifles. The controlled expansion design penetrates deeply while creating substantial wound channels on elk, mule deer, and similar-sized game. Weather conditions have minimal impact on trajectory due to the aerodynamic profile, making these suitable for mountain hunting where wind and elevation changes are common.
