The Berger VLD Hunting Bullet stands among the flattest shooting hunting bullets available. VLD Hunting Bullets share the same design as VLD Target bullets but feature a thinner J4 Precision jacket engineered for rapid expansion during hunting applications. These bullets are designed to penetrate 2-3 inches and then begin expanding to create a massive wound cavity up to 15 inches, with hydrostatic shock typically causing animals to drop immediately.
The secant ogive design of VLD Hunting Bullets reduces drag during flight to the target. This aerodynamic advantage translates directly to flatter trajectory, reduced wind-drift, and higher retained velocity compared to conventional designs. The bullets are built with highly consistent J4 Precision Bullet jackets, favored by custom bullet makers.
For single-shot applications, a popular loading technique involves touching the rifling, though some rifles may prefer as much as .150 from the rifling. Berger VLD Hunting Bullets are widely used for long range hunting applications.
