Berger 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets

The Berger 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets are high-performance projectiles crafted for long-range hunting in .264″ bolt-action and magazine-fed rifles. Featuring Berger’s Very Low Drag (VLD) secant ogive and tapered boat-tail, these bullets deliver flat trajectories, wind-resistant flight, and controlled expansion out to 600 yards and beyond.

Each bullet is manufactured to match-grade tolerances using a thin J4 hunting jacket over a concentric precision lead core. Total Indicated Runout is tightly controlled to ensure consistent muzzle velocities and repeatable accuracy without the need for hand-sorting.

Key specifications include a bullet diameter of 0.264″, exact weight of 130gr, sectional density of approximately 0.266, and an overall length of around 1.310″. Ballistic coefficients are rated at G1 BC = 0.590 and G7 BC = 0.300. A minimum barrel twist rate of 1:8″ is recommended to fully stabilize the Berger 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets through supersonic and transonic flight.

On impact, the thin jacket penetrates 2–3″ before initiating expansion, creating broad wound channels and delivering significant hydrostatic shock—making them well suited for deer, pronghorn, antelope, and similar game. Hunters report consistent terminal performance and clean, high-mass retention results.

Reloaders favor these bullets when paired with powders such as Hodgdon H4350, Alliant Reloder 17, or Vihtavuori N140 and match primers. These combinations yield tight velocity spreads, clean throat performance, and accurate groupings—suitable for extended-range hunting scenarios.

Designed for serious hunters demanding both precision and terminal effectiveness, the Berger 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets deliver aerodynamic excellence, controlled expansion, and reliable penetration in .264-caliber systems.
