Berger Match Grade Hunting Bullets .270 Cal .277" 140 Gr Vld Hunter 100/Box
$67.24
The Berger Match Grade Hunting .270 caliber bullets deliver the precision and terminal performance serious hunters demand. These 140-grain .277" VLD (Very Low Drag) projectiles are engineered to combine match-grade accuracy with controlled expansion designed for quick, ethical kills on medium to large game. Loaded 100 per box, they're a reliable choice for hunters who reload and want consistency shot to shot.
The VLD profile isn't just about ballistics—it's about terminal behavior. The design initiates expansion only after 2 to 3 inches of penetration, which means the bullet reaches the vital zone before it starts to work. Once expansion begins, the controlled fragmentation and hydrostatic shock combine to create a massive wound cavity in vital organs, typically 13 to 15 inches long. This energy dump translates to fast, humane performance in the field—most game goes into shock immediately, or succumbs quickly to organ damage and blood pressure loss. Unlike hardened deep-penetrators that zip through, these Berger bullets put their energy where it matters most: inside.
Berger's match-grade manufacturing means you're getting the concentricity and consistency that precision reloaders expect. Whether you're hand-loading for a custom .270 or a factory rifle, these bullets reward careful setup with the accuracy and lethality that separate a clean, ethical harvest from a tracking job.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers and rifles are these bullets compatible with?
These .277" bullets are designed for .270 Winchester and other .270-class cartridges. Always verify bore diameter and chamber specifications for your specific rifle before loading.
Are these bullets suitable for hunting, or just target shooting?
These are purpose-built hunting bullets. The VLD design is engineered for controlled expansion and terminal performance on medium to large game, making them a solid choice for hunters who hand-load.
How many bullets are in a box?
Each box contains 100 bullets, making them practical for serious reloaders who want to build multiple hunting loads.
What's the difference between a VLD and other hunting bullet designs?
The VLD (Very Low Drag) profile offers a sharp, streamlined nose that minimizes air resistance for flatter trajectories and retained velocity downrange. The design also initiates controlled expansion only after penetrating 2–3 inches, allowing the bullet to reach vital organs before fragmenting, which creates the massive wound cavity and fast performance Berger hunting bullets are known for.
