The Berger VLD Target Rifle Bullet is renowned for being one of the flattest-shooting bullets available today. Often emulated by others, the VLD Target Rifle Bullet features a secant ogive design, which minimizes drag as it travels toward the target. This reduction in drag results in flatter trajectories, less wind-drift and higher retained velocity compared to other bullets. The VLD is a popular choice for long-range shooters, with a preferred loading technique of touching the rifling for single-shot applications, although some rifles may perform better with up to .150 inches of jump from the rifling. Built with the highly consistent J4 Precision Rifle Bullet jacket, the VLD is favored by custom bullet makers and widely used in competitive long-range shooting for its exceptional accuracy and performance.
