Berger 30513 VLD Hunting 30 Cal 185gr Bullets 100/Box Long Range

The Berger 30513 VLD Hunting bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy for hunters pursuing game at extended distances. These 185-grain .30 caliber projectiles feature Berger's proven VLD (Very Low Drag) design that maintains velocity and energy downrange better than conventional hunting bullets.

What Makes This Different

The VLD Hunting design combines a secant ogive nose profile with a boat-tail base to achieve a superior ballistic coefficient of 0.549 G1. This aerodynamic efficiency translates to flatter trajectories and reduced wind drift compared to standard hunting bullets. The tangent ogive hybrid design provides consistent seating depth tolerance while maintaining the ballistic advantages of VLD geometry.

Key Features

• 185-grain weight optimized for .30 caliber magnum cartridges
• J4 precision jacket construction ensures consistent wall thickness
• Boat-tail base design reduces drag and improves stability
• Match-grade accuracy with hunting terminal performance
• Secant ogive nose profile maximizes ballistic coefficient
• Consistent 0.308" diameter with tight manufacturing tolerances
• 100 bullets per box for extended shooting sessions

Field testing demonstrates these bullets maintain supersonic velocity beyond 1,200 yards when fired from appropriate magnum cartridges. The hybrid ogive design allows for flexible seating depths while preserving accuracy, making load development more forgiving than traditional VLD bullets. Terminal performance provides controlled expansion on game animals while retaining enough mass for deep penetration.
