The Berger VLD Target Rifle Bullet is widely recognized as one of the flattest-shooting bullets available today. Its secant ogive design is a key feature, reducing drag as it travels to the target. This design allows the VLD to shoot flatter, experience less wind-drift and retain velocity better than many other bullets on the market. A popular loading technique for the VLD is touching the rifling for single-shot applications, though some rifles may perform better with up to .150 inches of jump from the rifling. Berger VLD Target Rifle Bullets are extremely popular in competitive long-range shooting due to their superior accuracy and performance. Built with the highly consistent J4 Precision Rifle Bullet jacket, the VLD is a preferred choice for custom rifle bullet makers, ensuring reliability and precision for serious shooters.
