New .270 Bullet Line-Up from Berger
Our friends at Berger Bullets keep coming up with new, high-quality projectiles for precision shooters. Berger has just announced a new line-up of .270-caliber VLD bullets designed for long-range hunters as well as target shooters.
These bullets are available in 130gr VLD, 140gr VLD, and 150gr VLD. Berger. According to Berger: “The VLD design allows the bullet to penetrate 2″ to 3″ through tissue and bone before it starts to expand. Once it begins expansion, the bullet will distribute 60% to 90% of its weight as shrapnel into the surrounding tissue. The delayed expansion causes a massive wound … which puts the animal down fast.”
“The Berger 270 caliber VLD bullets bring match-grade precision and exceptional terminal performance to a very popular hunting caliber,” says Eric Stecker, Berger’s Master Bulletsmith. “I look forward to the day when we hear about a shooter winning a competition with the same rifle and bullet he used to get his buck.”
Come on you chaps at Berger and help out the old reactionary quarter bore (.25) enthusiast and who still, more than occasionally, lay low varmints, game and indeed bench rest targets with what is, after all, a pill not that far removed from the “New Kid On The Block” in the form of 6.5 projectiles married to 6X47 Swiss Match-sized cases.
I need a bullet with Berger-like accuracy and of less than “87g” for varmint use in my K250 and a similarly reliable but correctly structured bullet, around 95g, for use on deer and with the appropriate expansion character please.
One can but ask!
Cheers

Hi
I am a professional hunting guide for migrating caribou up here in Canada , and a fan of the .270(130grs of course…).
I shoot a T/C Encore with Pro-Hunter 28in barrel.
Where can I get your 130grs VLD bullets in Canada?
