Berger VLD Hunting 7mm 180gr Bullets, 100-Count

The Berger VLD Hunting Bullets (Berger part no. 28502) put a 180-grain, 7mm-caliber projectile in the hands of long-range big-game hunters who want one of the flattest-shooting hunting bullets available. Built with the same secant ogive design as Berger’s VLD Target line but wrapped in a thinner J4 Precision jacket, this bullet is engineered to penetrate 2 to 3 inches before rapidly expanding and shedding energy into a wound cavity that can run up to 15 inches. The reduced-drag ogive shape means less wind drift and a higher retained velocity than most conventional hunting bullets, which is why VLD Hunting bullets have become a favorite for long-range hunting applications. Built by Berger Bullets, this 180-grain 7mm loading is sold 100 to a box.
