Berger 30 Cal 168gr VLD Target Rifle Bullets

Berger 30 Cal 168gr VLD Target Rifle Bullets

The Berger 30 Cal 168gr VLD Target Rifle Bullets are high-performance, match-grade projectiles engineered for precision in .308″ (30 Cal) bolt-action and magazine-fed rifles. Featuring Berger’s Very Low Drag (VLD) secant ogive paired with a tapered boat-tail design, these bullets deliver exceptional aerodynamic efficiency, flat flight paths, and sub‑MOA accuracy from 600 to 1,200 yards.

Each bullet is crafted with a concentric J4 copper-alloy jacket surrounding a precision lead core. Berger maintains tight production tolerances—resulting in minimal Total Indicated Runout—ensuring uniform muzzle velocity and consistently tight groupings without the need for hand-sorting.

Key specifications include a bullet diameter of 0.308″, exact weight of 168 gr, and sectional density of 0.267. Ballistic coefficients are rated at G1 BC ≈ 0.539 and G7 BC ≈ 0.269, with an overall length of approximately 1.300″. Berger recommends a minimum twist rate of 1:10″ to stabilize these bullets through supersonic and transonic flight.

Reloaders appreciate these bullets when used with powders such as Hodgdon Retumbo, Alliant Reloder 22, or Vihtavuori N160, paired with match primers like CCI BR4 or Federal 205M. These combinations yield low velocity variation, clean throat conditioning, and exceptional accuracy—ideal for F‑Class, PRS, and ELR applications.

The VLD ogive and boat-tail base minimize drag and wind drift, offering consistent downrange performance and stable transonic transitions. Shooters report reliable feeding, repeatable seating depth, and dependable long-range performance in both magazine-fed and single-shot platforms.

Designed for elite precision shooters, the Berger 30 Cal 168gr VLD Target Rifle Bullets combine aerodynamic uniformity, match-grade consistency, and long-range accuracy—making them a top-tier component for serious .308-caliber precision systems.
