Built on Berger's proven Very Low Drag (VLD) profile, this projectile combines a secant ogive nose with a precision boat tail base - the most aerodynamically efficient shape in the Berger lineup - to deliver a G1 ballistic coefficient of \u003cstrong\u003e.549\u003c\/strong\u003e for flat trajectory and reduced wind drift downrange.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eWhat sets the VLD Hunting apart from a pure target bullet is its terminal performance. The sharp ogive is designed to penetrate \u003cstrong\u003e2 to 3 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e into the vitals before initiating expansion, then shed between \u003cstrong\u003e40 and 85 percent\u003c\/strong\u003e of its weight to create a wound cavity up to \u003cstrong\u003e15 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e. A \u003cstrong\u003ecopper J4 jacket\u003c\/strong\u003e over a \u003cstrong\u003elead core\u003c\/strong\u003e drives that expansion while maintaining the weight retention hunters need on medium to heavy game. Berger recommends a \u003cstrong\u003e1:12 twist\u003c\/strong\u003e or faster for stable flight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eThese are reloading components - unprimed, uncannelured projectiles intended for handloaders building precision hunting loads for the \u003cstrong\u003e.30 caliber\u003c\/strong\u003e family.
