First and foremost all Berger Bullets are Match grade. Berger mates J4 bullet jackets with lead core to produce some of the highest quality bullets in the world. The VLD (Very Low Drag) bullet design was born from a request made by the US 300 Meter Shooting Team to mitigate shooter fatigue. After a design was created, Walt Berger was approached to make the bullet. The 6mm 105 gr VLD was born and shot by the US 300 Meter Shooting Team using a 2 PPC (modified 220 Swift). This successful bullet design soon found its way into all long range target competition and the VLD shape spread into all other calibers. The VLD bullet design is a combination of two very specific features. The first is a boat tail which is common on long and heavy bullets. The second and most important design feature is the long secant ogive. It is this ogive shape that allows the bullet to experience less drag as it flies to the target.
