The Berger VLD Hunting bullet is a highly accurate, non-lead-free projectile designed for precision and performance in the field. Featuring a sleek Very Low Drag (VLD) profile with a boat tail and a sharp, secant ogive, this bullet reduces air resistance for flatter trajectories and exceptional long-range capability. Ideal for medium to large game, such as deer and elk, Berger VLD Hunting bullets are renowned for rapid expansion and effective terminal performance.
