Featuring Berger’s Very Low Drag (VLD) ogive combined with a long boat-tail base, these bullets provide high aerodynamic efficiency and flat trajectory essential for precise shots on big game out to 600+ yards.

Each Berger 270 Cal 6.8mm Cal 130gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullet is manufactured under strict tolerances, utilizing a concentric copper-alloy jacket and lead core with Total Indicated Runout held within ±0.0001″. This precision manufacturing ensures consistent ballistic performance in every bullet, making hand-sorting unnecessary and delivering reliable performance in variable field conditions.

Key specifications include a bullet diameter of 0.277″ (6.8mm), weight of 130 gr, sectional density of approximately 0.301, and ballistic coefficients of G1 BC ≈ 0.554 and G7 BC ≈ 0.281. The overall length is roughly 1.355″, and a twist rate of 1‑10″ or faster is recommended for optimal stabilization of the Berger 270 Cal 6.8mm Cal 130gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets in standard and magnum-length actions.

Hunters value the Berger 270 Cal 6.8mm Cal 130gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets for their superior downrange energy retention and resistance to wind deflection. Paired with magnum powders such as Hodgdon Retumbo or Alliant Reloder 26 and magnum primers like CCI 250 or Federal 215, these bullets generate stable velocities with minimal variation—producing consistent accuracy and deep terminal performance on elk, deer, and large game.

The blended VLD ogive and boat-tail design of the Berger 270 Cal 6.8mm Cal 130gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets reduces drag and maintains uniform flight through transonic transition. This allows for precise point‑of‑impact control across varied environments and makes the bullets ideal for extended-range hunting and precision field shots.

Functional design elements of the Berger 270 Cal 6.8mm Cal 130gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets ensure reliable feeding and magazine compatibility. Their sleek profile supports smooth chambering in bolt-action, single-shot, and magazine-fed rifles, facilitating quick follow-up capability and consistent alignment at distance.

Handloaders appreciate how the Berger 270 Cal 6.8mm Cal 130gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets maintain a clean throat and resist barrel fouling during extended shooting sessions. This results in easier load tuning and longer barrel life, making them a practical component for serious hunters and precision rifle shooters alike.

Proven in demanding field trials, the Berger 270 Cal 6.8mm Cal 130gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets deliver the balance of flat trajectory, high retained energy, and match-grade accuracy necessary for confident long-range hunting performance in .270 Cal platforms.
