Berger Bullets 26401 6.5mm 140 Grain VLD Hunting Bullets, 100 Count

Berger Bullets 26401 VLD Hunting Bullets are designed for reloaders seeking consistent, flat-shooting performance in 6.5mm hunting and long-range applications. This 140-grain projectile uses a secant ogive profile to reduce drag during flight, helping deliver a flatter trajectory, reduced wind drift, and strong retained velocity at extended distances. The design is based on Berger’s proven VLD profile and is engineered for reliable accuracy when paired with properly developed handloads.
The VLD Hunting Bullet features a thinner J4 Precision copper jacket than Berger’s VLD Target Bullet, promoting rapid expansion after sufficient penetration on game. Berger states that the bullet is designed to penetrate approximately 2 to 3 inches before expanding, helping create a substantial wound cavity. Performance can vary based on impact velocity, range, firearm, and loading practices, so reloaders should always follow published load data and observe all applicable safety procedures.
Each bullet has a lead core, copper jacket, and secant very low drag profile. The .264-caliber, 140-grain construction offers a sectional density of .287 and a ballistic coefficient of .612 for a balance of aerodynamic efficiency and downrange stability. With 100 bullets per box and no cannelure, this component is suited for precision reloading and long-range hunting setups. Berger Bullets builds these projectiles with highly consistent J4 Precision jackets, making them a popular choice among handloaders and custom bullet makers who prioritize repeatable dimensions, reliable seating, and dependable accuracy.
