In the realm of big game hunting, precision and lethality are paramount. Berger's Hunting Bullet line exemplifies these traits with distinction. Designed in both VLD (Very Low Drag) and Hybrid configurations, these bullets feature a sharp nose coupled with a slightly thinner jacket. This design ensures optimal penetration—approximately 2 to 3 inches—before expansion begins.
Upon expanding, Berger bullets effectively shed between 40% to 85% of their weight as shrapnel into vital tissues, creating an extensive wound cavity that measures about 13 to 15 inches in length. The combination of this fragmentation and resultant hydrostatic shock delivers a decisive impact within the animal's vital areas.
Unlike traditional high-weight retention projectiles that merely pass through like arrows, Berger bullets transfer their energy precisely where needed most: inside the target. This results in rapid incapacitation due to immediate shock or subsequent blood pressure loss and organ failure—a testament to ethical hunting practices.
For hunters seeking swift results without prolonged tracking efforts post-shot, the Berger VLD is your ally on the field. Its accuracy and terminal performance redefine effective big game hunting strategies, ensuring you make each shot count.
