Berger Hunting Bullets in 6.5mm 130 grain VLD HPBT are engineered for hunters who demand both accuracy and terminal performance on medium to large game. The 0.264" diameter projectiles combine a sharp nose profile with a moderately constructed jacket designed to initiate expansion after initial penetration, then shed a significant portion of their mass into the surrounding tissue. This controlled fragmentation creates a large wound cavity within vital areas while maintaining enough penetration to reach deep into the animal—a balance that separates premium hunting rounds from generic FMJ or solid copper designs.
The VLD (Very Low Drag) design reduces wind drift and drop over distance, making these bullets practical for hunters who may need to stretch their effective range. The 130-grain weight in 6.5mm caliber sits in the sweet spot for popular rifles like the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, and various other 6.5mm magnum and standard builds. Because these are component bullets sold for hand-loading, you control the powder charge, primer, and load work-up—allowing precision reloaders to optimize velocity and accuracy for their individual rifle and ammunition needs.
Component bullets demand quality brass, careful measurement, and attention to published load data; they're not a shortcut, but they do offer reloaders the ability to build ammunition tailored to their specific rifle's barrel length, twist rate, and intended use. Whether you're fine-tuning loads for a precision hunting rifle or building ammo to match a particular rifle's performance window, these projectiles give you a proven platform to work from.
| Caliber / Diameter | 6.5mm (0.264") |
| Grain Weight | 130 grain |
| Bullet Type | VLD HPBT (Very Low Drag Hollow Point Boat Tail) |
| Brand | Berger |
These 0.264" diameter bullets are designed for 6.5mm caliber rifles, including the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, 6.5x55 SE, 6.5 Grendel, and other standard and magnum 6.5mm cartridges. Always verify chamber specifications and consult published load data for your specific rifle.
These are component bullets sold for hand-loading. You will need to assemble them with brass cases, primers, and powder according to established reloading data. They are not pre-assembled cartridges ready to fire.
VLD (Very Low Drag) bullets feature a more aerodynamic ogive shape that reduces air resistance, resulting in a flatter trajectory and less wind drift compared to traditional bullet profiles. This makes them effective for longer-range hunting scenarios.
