Berger 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr VLD Target Rifle Bullets

The Berger 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr VLD Target Rifle Bullets are precision match-grade projectiles engineered for long-range rifle systems in .264″ bolt-action and magazine-fed platforms. Featuring Berger’s Very Low Drag (VLD) secant ogive and tapered boat-tail, these bullets deliver superior aerodynamic efficiency, minimal wind drift, and sub‑MOA consistency from 600 to 1,200 yards.

Each bullet is manufactured to match-grade tolerances with a concentric J4 precision jacket and uniform lead core. Berger ensures tight control over total indicated runout, resulting in highly consistent muzzle velocities and exceptional shot-to-shot repeatability without hand-sorting.

Key specifications include a bullet diameter of 0.264″, exact weight of 130 gr, sectional density of 0.266, and an overall length of approximately 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 required to stabilize the Berger 264 Cal 6.5mm 130gr VLD Target Rifle Bullets through all phases of flight.

Reloaders and competitive shooters value these bullets for their performance with powders like Hodgdon H4350, Alliant Reloder 17, or Vihtavuori N140, paired with match primers such as CCI BR4 or Federal 205M. These combinations produce low velocity variation, clean throat conditioning, and tight groupings—ideal for F-Class, PRS, ELR, and tactical shooting disciplines.

The VLD ogive and boat-tail base work together to reduce aerodynamic drag and enhance wind resistance, while offering seating-depth flexibility for magazine seating. Shooters report smooth feeding, consistent chamber alignment, and reliable point-of-impact performance in both bolt-action and semi-auto platforms.
