Berger Match Grade Hunting Bullets 6.5mm .264" 140 gr VLD HUNTER 100/box

The Berger Match Grade Hunting Bullets 6.5mm .264" 140 gr VLD HUNTER is purpose-built for precision rifle hunters demanding terminal performance on medium to large game. These 100-round boxes represent one of the most lethal big game hunting projectiles available today, engineered with the exacting standards that match-grade ammunition demands. Whether you're targeting elk, deer, or competitive hunting applications, these bullets deliver the ballistic consistency and devastating effect that separate ethical, one-shot kills from wounded animals.

The VLD (Very Low Drag) Hybrid design incorporates a sharp, aerodynamic nose profile paired with a slightly thinner jacket that initiates controlled expansion 2 to 3 inches after impact. This construction ensures deep penetration through vital organs while generating rapid energy transfer and substantial wound channels. The 140-grain weight in 6.5mm caliber (.264" diameter) sits in the optimal range for 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x47 Lapua, and similar cartridges, providing ballistic coefficients that extend effective range while maintaining velocity through wind. Match-grade manufacturing tolerances ensure each round chambers and seats consistently, critical for sub-MOA accuracy at distance.

These bullets are ideal for handloaders and factory-ammo shooters who demand precision and reliability. They're particularly effective in 6.5 Creedmoor platforms—the cartridge gaining rapid adoption among both tactical marksmen and serious hunters—and perform exceptionally in precision bolt-actions where meticulous seating depth and neck tension yield sub-half-MOA groups. The 100-round box format supports both development loads and sustained hunting seasons, making them economical for range testing and field deployment. Proper powder selection, primer type, and case preparation are essential; consult established Berger loading data and your rifle's manual before assembly.
