The Berger Hunting bullet line features Very Low Drag (VLD) bullets that have high possible ballistic coefficient designed for 300 yards or more. The VLD design incorporates a sharp nose that allows the bullet to penetrate 2-3 inches before it starts to expand. After the initial expansion, the bullet will shed between 40% and 85% of its weight as shrapnel into the surrounding tissue. The combination between the shrapnel and the hydrostatic shock produces a large wound cavity within the vital area that will be 13-15 inches long.
