The Berger VLD Target Rifle Bullet is known for being one of the flattest-shooting bullets available today. Featuring a secant ogive design, it experiences less drag as it travels toward the target, which contributes to its flatter trajectory, reduced wind-drift and higher retained velocity compared to other bullets. A popular loading technique for the VLD is to touch the rifling for single-shot applications, though some rifles may perform better with up to .150 inches of jump from the rifling. Highly favored in competitive long-range shooting, the Berger VLD Target Rifle Bullet is built with the highly consistent J4 Precision Rifle Bullet jacket, a construction that is most preferred by custom rifle bullet makers for its exceptional accuracy and performance.
