Berger Match Grade Target Bullets .22 cal .224" 75 gr VLD Target 100/ct
$46.48
The Berger Match Grade Target .22 caliber bullet is purpose-built for precision shooters who demand consistency and flat trajectories downrange. These 75-grain .224" VLD (Very Low Drag) Target bullets are engineered around a secant ogive design that cuts through air more efficiently than conventional shapes, translating to less bullet drop, reduced wind deflection, and higher velocity retention across distance. Whether you're loading for a bolt-action varmint rifle or a precision .223 Rem build, these match-grade projectiles deliver the accuracy repeatability competitive shooters and serious reloaders expect.
Berger's VLD Target design has become the standard that others chase in the long-range and competitive shooting world, and for good reason. The secant ogive geometry reduces drag during flight, which directly improves your ballistics and tightens groups when conditions get demanding. Many shooters like to load these bullets touching the rifling in single-shot applications for maximum accuracy, though your rifle may shoot better with slight jump—some find optimal performance as much as .150" off the lands. Because they're built on Berger's J4 Precision bullet jackets (the choice of custom bullet manufacturers), you get exceptional build quality and lot-to-lot consistency that lets you focus on your technique and load development, not chasing bullet variables.
This 100-count box gives you enough rounds to develop a load and put in serious range time. If you're assembling precision ammunition for target work, varmint hunting, or competitive events where every tenth-inch matters, the Berger Match Grade Target bullet delivers the ballistic advantage and consistency you're paying for.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles are these bullets for?
These .224" diameter, 75-grain bullets are designed for .22 caliber rifles, commonly loaded for cartridges like the .223 Remington, .22-250 Remington, and similar centerfire .22 caliber rounds. They're purpose-built for bolt-action precision rifles, single-shot platforms, and competition shooting applications.
How should I seat these bullets for best accuracy?
Many shooters load VLD Target bullets touching the rifling in single-shot applications for maximum accuracy. However, every rifle is different—some rifles may prefer up to .150" of jump from the lands. We recommend developing your load by testing different seating depths to find what your particular rifle prefers.
What makes the VLD design better for long-range shooting?
The secant ogive geometry reduces aerodynamic drag as the bullet travels downrange, which means flatter trajectory, less wind drift, and higher velocity retention compared to conventional bullet shapes. This translates to tighter groups and more predictable ballistics at distance.
Is this a full box, and how many rounds do I get?
Yes, this is a 100-count box containing 100 individual bullets, giving you a full quantity for load development and range sessions.
