Berger 30514 VLD Hunting 30 Cal 190gr Bullets - 100 Count Box

The Berger 30514 VLD Hunting bullets deliver exceptional long-range accuracy for precision shooters demanding consistent terminal performance on big game. These 190-grain projectiles feature the proven VLD (Very Low Drag) design that maintains velocity and energy at extended distances where conventional bullets fall short.

What Makes This Different

The VLD Hunting design combines a secant ogive profile with a boat-tail base to achieve a superior ballistic coefficient compared to traditional hunting bullets. This aerodynamic efficiency translates to flatter trajectories, reduced wind drift, and retained energy at ranges exceeding 500 yards. The J4 precision jacket ensures consistent expansion while maintaining structural integrity through bone and tissue.

Key Features

• 190-grain weight optimized for .30 caliber magnum cartridges and long-range applications
• VLD secant ogive design reduces drag coefficient by 15-20% over conventional profiles
• J4 precision jacket manufactured to ±0.0003" tolerance for consistent performance
• Boat-tail base design minimizes base drag and improves downrange stability
• Lead core bonding prevents jacket separation during terminal expansion
• Match-grade construction suitable for both hunting and precision competition
• 100-count bulk packaging reduces per-round cost for volume shooters

Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion at impact velocities between 1,800-3,000 fps, making these bullets effective across multiple cartridge platforms from .308 Winchester to .300 Winchester Magnum. The high ballistic coefficient maintains supersonic flight beyond 1,200 yards in optimal conditions, extending ethical hunting ranges for experienced marksmen. Terminal performance shows 60-80% weight retention with controlled expansion that creates effective wound channels.
