Berger Bullets VLD Hunter bullets in 6mm, .243 in., 115 grains (brand part no. 60-24530) are built on Berger’s VLD (Very Low Drag) hunting design, using a sharp nose and slightly thinner jacket to penetrate 2 to 3 in. before expansion begins. Once expansion starts, the bullet sheds a substantial portion of its weight as fragmentation into the surrounding tissue, and that fragmentation combined with hydrostatic shock produces a large wound channel and fast-acting terminal performance. Rather than punching through like an arrow, the VLD Hunter dumps its energy where it counts, inside the animal, for a quick, ethical harvest.
