Berger Hunting .30 Caliber (.308 Diameter) 185gr VLD Hollow Point Boat Tail 100/Box

Berger Hunting .30 Caliber (.308 Diameter) 185gr VLD Hollow Point Boat Tail 100/Box are identical in design to VLD target bullets, but for the exception of the utilization of a thinner J4 Precision jacket for rapid expansion. Very Low Drag (VLD) hunting bullets are designed to penetrate 2-3″ before bullet expansion begins, resulting in a massive wound channel up to 15″. Simply put, the hydrostatic shock causes most animals to drop immediately. VLD bullets incorporate a secant ogive design which allows the bullet to experience less drag. The reduced drag is why the VLD bullets shoot flatter, experience less wind-drift, and have a higher retained velocity. Berger VLD hunting bullets are extremely popular for long range hunting applications and are most favored by custom bullet makers. These bullets are built for hunting large sized game (300 to 1500 lbs), including elk. These bullets are new production and non-corrosive.
