Berger 22 Cal 80gr VLD Target Rifle Bullets

Berger 22 Cal 80gr VLD Target Rifle Bullets

The Berger 22 Cal 80gr VLD Target Rifle Bullets are precision-engineered, match-grade projectiles built for long-range shooting in .224″ (22 Cal) bolt-action and semi-auto rifles. Featuring Berger’s VLD (Very Low Drag) secant ogive and a tapered boat-tail, these bullets deliver exceptional aerodynamic efficiency, flat trajectory, and consistent sub-MOA accuracy extending beyond 1,000 yards.

Each Berger 22 Cal 80gr VLD Target Rifle Bullet is manufactured to strict Berger tolerances with a concentric copper-alloy jacket encasing a precision lead core. Total Indicated Runout is controlled within ±0.0001″, ensuring uniform muzzle velocities and tight shot-to-shot consistency—eliminating the need for hand sorting.

Key specifications include a bullet diameter of 0.224″, exact weight of 80gr, and a high ballistic coefficient (G1 BC ≈ 0.550, G7 BC ≈ 0.270), with sectional density around 0.311. The overall length is approximately 1.000″, and a rifling twist rate of 1‑7″ or faster is required to stabilize the Berger 22 Cal 80gr VLD Target Rifle Bullets through supersonic and transonic transition zones.

Reloaders favor the Berger 22 Cal 80gr VLD Target Rifle Bullets for their consistent performance when paired with mid‑to‑slow-burning powders like Hodgdon Benchmark, Vihtavuori N133, or Alliant AR-Comp along with small rifle match primers (CCI BR4 or Federal 205M). These loads yield low standard deviation velocities, tight groupings, and clean throat conditioning ideal for F‑Class and long-range precision work.

The VLD ogive and tapered boat-tail of the Berger 22 Cal 80gr VLD Target Rifle Bullets minimize drag and wind deflection, ensuring stable flight and predictable point-of-impact in varying wind conditions. Shooters report smooth feeding, precise seating depth, and consistent ballistic performance in magazine-fed and single-shot platforms.

Engineered for elite precision shooting, the Berger 22 Cal 80gr VLD Target Rifle Bullets combine advanced aerodynamic design with match-grade manufacturing precision. Their consistent downrange performance, clean feeding, and long-range accuracy make them a top choice among serious 22‑caliber shooters.
