Berger 30 Cal 155-Grain VLD HPBT Hunting Bullets (Box of 100)$69.10
Availability: In Stock
The Berger 270 Cal 130gr VLD HPBT hunting bullets are engineered for reloaders who demand both accuracy and terminal performance on big game. This box of 100 rounds features Berger's proven VLD (Very Low Drag) design—a hunting-specific bullet profile that combines a sharp nose with a slightly thinner jacket to manage expansion and energy transfer in ways that matter on the animal. Whether you're hand-loading for a .270 Winchester, .270 WSM, or other .270 cartridges, these bullets reward precision shooters with the consistency and ballistic coefficient that make long-range hunting feasible and ethical.
Berger's VLD hunting line works differently than conventional deep-penetrating bullets. Rather than driving straight through, the 130-grain construction initiates expansion 2 to 3 inches after impact, then sheds a significant portion of its mass as it creates a wound cavity in vital tissue. That energy dump—rather than over-penetration—is what stops animals efficiently. Reloaders appreciate VLD bullets for their accuracy potential and for the terminal behavior they deliver when velocities and shot placement are dialed in.
This is a component purchase for hand-loaders: you're buying 100 unpowered, unprimed bullets to load according to your own recipe, equipment, and safety protocols. If you're already set up with reloading dies, brass, powder, and primers for .270, these Berger rounds integrate into your workflow. If you're new to reloading, you'll need the full setup and should start with published load data specific to this bullet weight, your powder, and your rifle.
| Caliber | .270 (0.277") |
| Weight | 130 grains |
| Design | VLD HPBT (Very Low Drag, Hollow Point Boat Tail) |
| Quantity | 100 bullets per box |
| Category | Reloading component (unpowdered, unprimed) |
The 130-grain .270 diameter bullet works in any rifle chambered for .270 cartridges—.270 Winchester, .270 WSM, and similar—once you've loaded them to a safe OAL (overall length) in your chosen brass. Load data and rifle specifics should guide your OAL; consult published reloading manuals for your exact powder and primer combination.
No. This is a bullets-only purchase. You'll need to source .270 brass, powder, primers, and a reloading press separately. The bullets are the projectile component only.
The VLD is one of Berger's hunting profiles; they also make Hybrid designs. Both incorporate a sharp nose and thinner jacket for controlled expansion, but each offers different ballistic and expansion characteristics. Check Berger's load data and ballistics to confirm which profile suits your rifle and shooting distance.
VLD bullets are designed with ballistic efficiency in mind—the boat tail and streamlined profile reduce drag—which supports longer-range work when loaded and shot with precision. Success depends on your rifle accuracy, your reloading technique, and your marksmanship at distance.
