The Berger 30 Cal 210 Grain VLD Hollow Point Boat Tail hunting bullets deliver the terminal performance serious hunters demand. Built on Berger's proven VLD (Very Low Drag) design, these .308 diameter projectiles combine aerodynamic efficiency with controlled expansion to create clean, ethical kills on big game. Whether you're handloading for a .308 Winchester, .30-06, or similar cartridge, these 210-grain bullets are engineered to perform at extended ranges where precision and energy retention matter most.
The VLD design features a sharp nose profile and moderately thin jacket construction that initiates expansion after 2 to 3 inches of penetration. Once expansion begins, the bullet sheds 40 to 85 percent of its weight as fragmentation into the vital cavity, while the remaining core and hydrostatic shock combine to create a wound channel roughly 13 to 15 inches in length through the vital zone. This energy-dump approach prioritizes lethality in the kill zone rather than deep bone-to-bone penetration, resulting in faster knockdown and reduced tracking work in the field.
Berger's reputation in precision handloading circles is built on consistency and accuracy—these bullets are no exception. The boat tail profile improves ballistic coefficient for better downrange velocity retention, while the hollow point ensures predictable, controlled expansion across a wide velocity window. If you're building hunting loads for maximum terminal effect and minimal suffering, the 210-grain VLD is a serious choice for .30 caliber rifles.
| Caliber | 30 Cal (.308 diameter) |
| Grain Weight | 210 grains |
| Bullet Type | VLD Hollow Point Boat Tail |
| Application | Hunting |
The .308 diameter makes these suitable for .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and other .30 caliber rifle cartridges. Always consult your reloading manual for proper loading data and check your specific rifle's chamber specifications.
The VLD prioritizes energy dump in the vital zone rather than deep penetration. The combination of controlled expansion, fragmentation, and hydrostatic shock creates a large wound cavity designed for fast, ethical kills. It's a different approach than solid-copper or bonded, deep-penetrating designs.
Yes. The VLD design and boat tail profile are optimized for ballistic efficiency, which supports flatter trajectories and better velocity retention at distance—important factors for precision long-range hunting.
You'll receive the rifle bullets themselves for reloading. Powder, primers, and brass casings are sold separately and must be sourced according to your specific load recipe and reloading manual.
