Description
Product Information
The Berger VLD Hunting Bullet is one of the flattest shooting hunting bullets in the industry. VLD Hunting Bullets are identical in design to VLD Target bullets except utilize a thinner J4 Precision jacket for rapid expansion during game applications. VLD Hunting Bullets are designed to penetrate 2-3″ and then begin to expand and create a massive wound cavity up to 15″. The hydrostatic shock causes most animals to drop immediately. VLD Hunting Bullets incoporate a secant ogive design which allows the bullet to experience less drag as it travels to the target. This reduced drag is why the VLD shoots flatter, experiences less wind-drift, and has a higher retained velocity than all others. A favorite load technique for the VLD’s is touching the rifling for single-shot applications, although some rifles may prefer as much as .150″ from the rifling. Berger VLD Hunting Bullets are extremely popular for long range hunting applications. Built with highly consistent J4 Precision Bullet jackets, most favored by custom bullet makers.

BERGER 7MM (.284) 184gr F-OPEN HYBRID HPBT BULLET 500/Box
Berger Hybrid bullets are designed to achieve extreme accuracy for competitive and recreational target shooters. Berger Hybrid bullets combine a tangent ogive with a secant ogive to produce the highest possible with the least sensitivity to seating depth. This allows the reloader to take full advantage of the best features of both designs.
When Berger built the 30 cal 200.20x bullet (#30417), it was in cooperation with the US Rifle Team (F-TR). This is an identical cooperation with the US Rifle Team (F-Open). They helped design, prototype, test and develop this bullet and each sale, Berger will donate proceeds back to the team to help support their efforts at the World Championships. This is “the Official Bullet of the US Rifle Team”. It has been optimized for performance in a weight class and caliber that F-TR competitors and other long range shooters are gravitating toward. Its sleek design, incredible ballistic properties, and most importantly, downrange results have solidified this as the Official Bullet for the US Rifle Team (F-TR) to compete in the World Championships.

SIERRA 7MM(.284)150g HPBT BULLET MATCHKING 500/Box
The 150 grain #1915 bullet has a large following in rifle silhouette competition, especially for the first three banks, chickens, pigs and turkeys. This bullet also has a loyal following in Hunter Benchrest target shooting.
In handguns, this bullet has been used widely for handgun silhouettes and other target competitions. They deliver outstanding accuracy, high momentum downrange, and low sensitivity to crosswinds.
While they are recognized around the world for record-setting accuracy, MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing® bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications. Although MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing® bullets are commonly used for varmint hunting, their design will not provide the same reliable explosive expansion at equivalent velocities in varmints compared to their lightly jacketed Hornet, Blitz or Varminter counterparts.
