Berger Bullets 22418 .224 Caliber 70 Grain VLD Hunting Bullets, 100 Count

Berger Bullets Part Number 22418 VLD Hunting Bullets are designed for reloaders seeking consistent performance in .224 caliber and 22 caliber applications. Each 70-grain bullet uses a secant Very Low Drag ogive to reduce aerodynamic drag, helping produce a flatter trajectory, less wind drift, and strong retained velocity at extended range. This design makes the bullets well suited for precision target shooting and long-range hunting loads when paired with appropriate reloading data and equipment.
The VLD Hunting design is based on Berger’s proven VLD Target profile but uses a thinner J4 Precision copper jacket to support rapid expansion in game applications. The bullet is engineered to penetrate before beginning to expand, creating a substantial wound cavity while maintaining the accuracy expected from Berger projectiles. Its lead core and copper jacket provide a traditional construction favored by precision-focused reloaders and custom bullet makers.
Each box contains 100 unassembled projectiles for handloading. The bullets feature a ballistic coefficient of 0.371, a sectional density of 0.199, and no cannelure. Consistent J4 Precision jackets help support uniform bullet weight, shape, and seating characteristics from one projectile to the next. Berger Bullets Part Number 22418 is a practical choice for reloaders building accurate .224 caliber ammunition for target use or suitable long-range hunting applications. Always follow current load manuals and component manufacturer guidelines when developing ammunition.
