Berger 243 Cal 6mm 105gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets
The Berger 243 Cal 6mm 105gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets are premium match-grade projectiles engineered for .243″ (6mm) bolt-action rifles. Featuring Berger’s Very Low Drag (VLD) secant ogive paired with a tapered boat-tail, these bullets offer flat trajectories, high retained velocity, and reliable expansion—making them ideal for ethical long-range hunting out to 600 yards.
Each Berger 243 Cal 6mm 105gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullet is manufactured under stringent quality control with a concentric J4 hunting jacket and precision-formed lead core. Ballistic Coefficient is G1 = 0.545 and G7 = 0.278, with Total Indicated Runout held within Berger’s tight tolerances—ensuring consistent muzzle velocity and point-of-impact without hand-sorting.
Key specifications include a bullet diameter of 0.243″, exact 105gr weight, sectional density of 0.254, and an overall length of approximately 1.223″. The minimum recommended twist rate is 1:8″ to reliably stabilize through supersonic and transonic zones.
Handloaders appreciate the Berger 243 Cal 6mm 105gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets for their field-proven terminal performance. With a thinner hunting jacket, these bullets penetrate 2–3″ before expanding, creating a wound cavity of up to 15″—a design intended to deliver deep penetration and hydrostatic shock. Typical muzzle velocities are around 2,975 fps (Winchester) to 3,100 fps (Creedmoor), generating approximately 2,070–2,240 ft-lb of energy.
The VLD secant ogive and boat-tail design reduce drag, minimize wind drift, and support retained supersonic flight to extended ranges. Shooters report clean feeding, predictable seating depth, and excellent cycling in both magazine-fed and single-shot rifles, with reliable terminal effectiveness on game up to deer and antelope.
Combining aerodynamic advantage, match-grade consistency, and proven terminal performance, the Berger 243 Cal 6mm 105gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets deliver an outstanding balance of long-range accuracy, retained energy, and ethical field performance in .243-caliber rifles.
