The Berger 30510 VLD Hunting bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy with match-grade consistency for serious hunters and precision shooters. These 168-grain projectiles combine the aerodynamic efficiency of target bullets with terminal performance optimized for hunting applications.
What Makes This Different
The VLD (Very Low Drag) design features a secant ogive profile that reduces drag coefficient significantly compared to tangent ogive bullets. This advanced geometry maintains velocity longer and reduces wind drift at extended ranges. The J4 precision jacket ensures uniform wall thickness within 0.0003 inches, delivering match-grade accuracy with reliable expansion on game.
Key Features
- 168-grain boat tail design with 0.473 G1 ballistic coefficient
- J4 precision jacket with uniform wall thickness for consistent performance
- Secant ogive profile reduces drag by 15-20% over standard designs
- Match-grade tolerances with weight sorted to ±0.3 grains
- Optimized for 1:10 to 1:12 twist rates in 30 caliber rifles
- Hybrid construction balances accuracy with hunting terminal performance
- 100 bullets per box with consistent lot-to-lot performance
Field testing demonstrates sub-MOA accuracy potential in quality rifle systems at ranges exceeding 600 yards. The VLD profile maintains supersonic velocity longer than conventional hunting bullets, extending effective range while reducing holdover calculations. Terminal performance provides controlled expansion with high weight retention on medium to large game animals.
