The Berger 30508 VLD Hunting bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy for precision shooters demanding consistent terminal performance. These 155-grain projectiles feature Berger's proven Very Low Drag design, engineered to maintain velocity and stability at extended distances. Built specifically for hunting applications, they provide reliable expansion and deep penetration on game animals.
What Makes This Different
The VLD (Very Low Drag) profile sets these bullets apart from conventional hunting projectiles through their secant ogive design and optimized bearing surface. This aerodynamic configuration reduces drag coefficient significantly compared to standard tangent ogive bullets. Independent ballistic testing shows BC values of 0.464 (G1), delivering flatter trajectories and reduced wind drift at ranges beyond 400 yards.
Key Features
- 155-grain weight optimized for .30 caliber magnum cartridges
- J4 precision jacket construction ensures consistent wall thickness
- Secant ogive profile maximizes ballistic coefficient
- Lead core provides controlled expansion on impact
- 0.308" diameter with tight tolerance specifications
- Boat tail base design enhances long-range stability
- Match-grade quality control throughout manufacturing process
Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion at impact velocities between 1,800-3,000 fps, making these bullets suitable for medium to large game hunting. The VLD design maintains supersonic flight to 1,200+ yards when fired from appropriate magnum cartridges. Weather-resistant jacket material resists corrosion during extended storage periods.
