Berger VLD Hunter 6.5mm 130gr Match Grade Bullets

Berger VLD Hunter Bullets: Precision and Lethality Combined

The Berger VLD Hunter represents one of the most effective hunting bullet designs available today. Built on proven match-grade engineering, these 130-grain 6.5mm projectiles combine accuracy with terminal performance.

Ballistic Excellence

Flat Trajectory and Wind Resistance The VLD's secant ogive design reduces aerodynamic drag, resulting in:

• Flatter shooting trajectories
• Reduced wind drift
• Higher retained velocity downrange

This makes the VLD Hunter an excellent choice for long-range hunting where precision matters.

Terminal Performance

Controlled Expansion Unlike match-grade target bullets, VLD Hunters feature a slightly thinner J4 Precision jacket engineered specifically for hunting applications. The bullet is designed to:

• Penetrate 2-3 inches before expansion begins
• Shed 40-85% of its weight as shrapnel into surrounding tissue
• Create a massive wound cavity 13-15 inches long within vital areas

Ethical Kills The combination of initial penetration and controlled expansion produces hydrostatic shock that results in rapid incapacitation. Most game animals experience immediate shock, while those that don't quickly succumb to blood pressure loss and organ failure. This design philosophy prioritizes quick, ethical kills over deep penetration.

Quality and Consistency

Manufactured with highly consistent J4 Precision jackets favored by custom bullet makers, each round delivers the accuracy and reliability you expect from match-grade ammunition.

Ideal For

• Long-range hunting (300+ yards)
• 6.5 Creedmoor and similar cartridges
• Hunters seeking flat trajectories and reliable expansion
• Shooters who demand both accuracy and terminal performance
