FAQ

What does VLD mean?
VLD stands for very low drag. Berger shapes these bullets with long, sleek noses to keep speed and cut wind drift at long range.

Is a hollow point good for hunting?
Hunting hollow points like the Berger VLD are made to expand in game. They are not the same as handgun defense hollow points. Check your state’s hunting rules.

How far can a 30-06 shoot accurately?
A good 30-06 with a high-BC bullet can be accurate past 500 yards in skilled hands. Hunting range should stay where you can hit a small target every time.

What grain 30-06 for deer?
Deer loads in 30-06 usually run from 150 to 168 grains. This 168-grain Berger load sits at the top of that range and carries a high BC for long shots across open ground.
