Berger Bullets are not just for competition target shooters. They make Match Grade bullets for hunters and varmint shooters too. The secret to Berger Bullets accuracy is the exclusive J4 bullet jacket. These jackets have a wall thickness that's consistent to within .0003"... That's 3/10,000ths of an inch. This is a big part of Berger Bullets overall consistency and why they're able to achieve "Match Grade" accuracy from hunting and varmint bullets as well as target bullets. Another term you'll see here is "VLD". VLD means Very Low Drag... Bullets with high ballistic coefficient so they will fly with flatter trajectory and less wind deflection (videos below).Berger Match Hunting Bullets - The VLD design incorporates a sharp nose that allows the bullet to penetrate up to 3 inches before it starts to expand. This delayed expansion results in a wound channel that is deep inside the vital area of any big game. After the bullet starts to expand it will shed 80% to 90% of its weight into the surrounding tissue traveling as deep as 18 inches. This results in a massive wound cavity that creates the greatest possible amount of tissue damage and hemraging within the vital area (organs). This massive wound cavity results in the animal dropping fast. Berger Match Varmint Bullets - Designed specifically for the varmint hunter. The slightly larger opening in the nose allows the bullet to expand instantly creating the highest possible opportunity for an explosive, one shot kill. The J4 Precision Jacket that we use has a thinner wall at the nose to assist in rapid expansion while it also has a base that is thick enough for high velocity cartridges. Berger uses the same high-grade materials and techniques to make varmint bullets so you can expect the same tight groups you get from our target bullets. Berger Match Target Bullets - Actually, ALL Berger Bullets are Match Grade, which means that they use the highest quality copper and lead available. The copper is made into the J4 Precision Jacket, which is recognized around the world as the bullet jacket with the best concentricity available (see above). All J4 Precision Jackets and bullets are made on one set of dies to insure that all of the bullets in each box are as consistent as possible, BECAUSE... Consistency is the key to ultimate accuracy.
