Overview

Built for hunters who want a bullet intended for game use, this Berger option is designed around rapid expansion after initial penetration. Its secant ogive profile is described as reducing drag in flight, which supports a flatter trajectory and less wind drift at distance. The 210-grain, 30 caliber, boat tail configuration is offered in a 100-count box for shooters loading hunting rounds with a focus on long-range application. As with any hunting bullet, it is important to match the load and rifle setup to the intended game and conditions.

Considerations & Trade-offs

Designed to expand after 2–3" of penetration, so it is not intended for situations where deeper initial penetration is the priority.
The secant ogive profile is optimized for reduced drag, which can make load development and seating depth more sensitive than with simpler bullet shapes.
This is a hunting-specific VLD design with a thinner jacket than the VLD Target version, so it is not a direct substitute for target-only use.
Performance claims in the product copy are tied to specific terminal behavior and may vary with rifle setup, impact velocity, and game size.
