The Berger VLD Target 6mm (.243) 115 grain is one of the flattest-shooting target projectiles Berger builds, and it has earned its reputation on competition lines around the world. The VLD (Very Low Drag) design pairs a secant ogive nose with a boat tail base, two shapes that work together to slip through the air with minimal drag. The result is flatter trajectories, less wind drift, and better retained velocity downrange, which is exactly what you want when you are trying to keep rounds in the X-ring at distance.
This bullet carries a G1 BC of 0.563 and a G7 BC of 0.289, numbers that explain why it holds up so well in wind and over long flight times. It is built on Berger's J4 Target Jacket, known for tight tolerances and excellent balance under high RPM, so the bullets stay stable even when spun fast out of a quick-twist barrel. With a sectional density of 0.278 and an overall length of 1.332 inches, the 115 grain weight is a favorite among precision 6mm and 6mm Creedmoor shooters running heavier target loads.
The secant ogive on VLD bullets rewards careful load development. A popular approach is seating the bullet close to or touching the rifling for single-shot applications, though some rifles shoot their best with a bit of jump, sometimes up to around .150 inches off the lands. Berger lists a minimum twist of 1:7 or faster to properly stabilize this projectile, so it pairs best with modern fast-twist barrels. Spend a little time at the bench finding your rifle's sweet spot and these bullets will reward you.
These are a staple for long range competition and precision handloading, often used well beyond mid-range distances out to 600 yards and farther. If you are loading for an accuracy game and want a 6mm bullet with a proven track record, the 115 grain VLD Target belongs on your shortlist.
Berger lists a minimum twist of 1:7 inches or faster to stabilize this bullet. The long, high-BC profile needs that quicker spin to fly true, so it suits modern fast-twist 6mm and 6mm Creedmoor barrels. If your barrel is slower than 1:7, a lighter bullet is the better match.
These are component bullets for handloading, not loaded cartridges. You supply your own brass, powder, and primers. They are intended for reloaders building their own match-grade target loads.
The secant ogive responds well to load tuning. A common starting point is seating close to or touching the rifling for single-shot use, while some rifles shoot tighter with a bit of jump, sometimes up to around .150 inches off the lands. Work up carefully and let your rifle tell you what it likes.
This is a long range target bullet, frequently used beyond mid-range out to 600 yards and farther. The high ballistic coefficient helps it buck wind and hold velocity at distance, which is why it is popular on precision competition lines.
