Berger VLD Hunting .30 Caliber 190gr Bullets, 100-Count

The Berger VLD Hunting Bullets (Berger part no. 30514) give .30-caliber big-game hunters a 190-grain projectile from one of the most lethal hunting bullet lines available. The VLD design uses a sharp nose that lets the bullet penetrate 2 to 3 inches before it starts expanding, then sheds 40 to 85 percent of its weight as shrapnel into the surrounding tissue. That combination of shrapnel and hydrostatic shock produces a massive 13-to-15-inch wound cavity that drops animals fast instead of leaving a wounded trail to follow. Built by Berger Bullets and sold 100 to a box, this 190-grain loading dumps its energy where it counts instead of punching straight through like an arrow.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the VLD Hunting bullet perform on game? It penetrates 2 to 3 inches before expanding and shedding 40 to 85 percent of its weight as shrapnel, producing a 13-to-15-inch wound cavity.

Why choose a bullet that sheds weight instead of passing through? Dumping energy inside the animal produces faster, more humane kills than a pass-through bullet that exits with most of its energy intact.

What game is this bullet suited for? Big game hunting at long range, where the VLD’s flat trajectory and explosive terminal performance are most valuable.
