Overview
Designed for long-range target work, this 22 caliber 90 grain VLD boat tail bullet is intended for shooters who want a streamlined projectile for precision applications. Its secant ogive design is described as reducing drag in flight, which supports flatter shooting, less wind drift, and higher retained velocity. Berger notes that many shooters use a seating depth that touches the rifling for single-shot setups, while some rifles may prefer more distance from the rifling. Packaged 100 per box, it is aimed at competitive and other serious long-range shooting contexts.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed as a target bullet, so it is not presented here as a hunting-specific option.
- The load note mentions some rifles may prefer seating up to .150" from the rifling, so setup may require testing rather than a single universal recipe.
- The product is sold in a 100-count box, which may be more than needed for shooters who only want to evaluate a small sample first.
