The Berger VLD Target Rifle Bullet is considered one of the flattest-shooting rifle bullets available today. Its secant ogive design significantly reduces drag, allowing the bullet to travel to the target with less resistance. This reduction in drag results in a flatter trajectory, reduced wind-drift and higher retained velocity compared to other bullets. The VLD is a favorite among long-range shooters, with a common loading technique being to touch the rifling for single-shot applications, although some rifles may prefer a jump of up to .150 inches from the rifling. Berger VLD Target Rifle Bullets are widely used in competitive long-range shooting, known for their exceptional accuracy. Built with J4 Precision Rifle Bullet jackets, these bullets are highly consistent and favored by custom bullet makers for their superior performance.
