The Berger Hunting bullet line stands as a testament to precision engineering, with its Very Low Drag (VLD) bullets designed for those who demand excellence beyond 300 yards. At the heart of this design lies an aerodynamic profile that boasts one of the highest ballistic coefficients achievable, ensuring superior performance over long distances.
The VLD's sharp nose is not just for show; it serves a critical purpose in enhancing penetration before expansion begins. Upon impact, these bullets penetrate approximately 2 to 3 inches into their target before commencing expansion. This controlled initial penetration allows for deep entry into vital areas.
Once expansion initiates, expect the bullet to shed between 40% and 85% of its mass as shrapnel. This fragmentation combines with hydrostatic shock to create a devastating wound cavity measuring about 13 to 15 inches in length within the vital area—ensuring swift incapacitation of game.
The Berger Hunting bullet line offers hunters unparalleled accuracy combined with lethal terminal ballistics—a perfect balance sought by discerning marksmen who understand that success hinges on both shot placement and projectile performance.
