Berger 30 Cal 190gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets

Berger 30 Cal 190gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets

The Berger 30 Cal 190gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets are precision-crafted long-range hunting projectiles designed for .308″ bolt-action and magazine-fed rifles. Featuring Berger’s Very Low Drag (VLD) secant ogive and tapered boat-tail design, these bullets deliver exceptional aerodynamic efficiency, flat trajectory, and consistent terminal performance—perfectly suited for mule deer, elk, and similar game at extended ranges.

Each Berger 30 Cal 190gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullet uses a thin J4 hunting jacket over a precision lead core and is manufactured to tight match-grade tolerances. Total Indicated Runout is tightly controlled to ensure uniform muzzle velocity, reliable feeding, and repeatable shot placement without batch sorting.

Key specifications include a bullet diameter of 0.308″, exact weight of 190 gr, sectional density of 0.307, and an overall length of approximately 1.460″. Ballistic coefficients are rated at G1 BC = 0.645 and G7 BC = 0.320. A minimum barrel twist rate of 1:10″ is recommended to stabilize this bullet through both supersonic and transonic flight.

Upon impact, the thin jacket allows controlled penetration before initiating expansion, producing wound channels up to 12–15″ and delivering strong hydrostatic shock needed for clean, ethical kills. These bullets provide reliable terminal performance even in thick brush or hunting conditions.

When loaded with slow-burning powders such as Hodgdon Retumbo, Alliant Reloder 22, or Vihtavuori N160 and paired with match primers, the Berger 30 Cal 190gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets offer tight velocity spreads, clean throat conditioning, and dependable long-range accuracy in the field.

Designed for hunters seeking precision and terminal effectiveness, the Berger 30 Cal 190gr VLD Hunting Rifle Bullets combine aerodynamic excellence, controlled expansion, and rugged penetration—making them a top-tier choice for serious long-range hunting in .308-caliber systems.
