Berger Match Grade Target Bullets 6.5Mm .264" 140 Gr Vld 500/Ct

If you're loading for precision rifle competition or long-range target work in 6.5mm, Berger Match Grade Target Bullets deliver the consistency and aerodynamic design that competitive shooters have relied on for decades. These 140-grain .264" VLD (Very Low Drag) bullets are engineered for the demands of match competition—where tight groups and repeatable performance separate winners from the rest. A 500-count box gives you enough rounds to train, dial in your load, and shoot a full match cycle without breaking your reloading rhythm.

Berger's reputation in target shooting stems from decades of wins and records, built on a foundation of obsessive quality control. Match Grade bullets start with precise manufacturing tolerances that minimize shot-to-shot variation. The VLD design reduces drag at distance, which means flatter trajectories and less wind drift—critical advantages when you're chasing accuracy at 600 yards and beyond. These bullets work equally well for F-Class, benchrest, or long-range hunter prep work where precision is non-negotiable.

The 140-grain weight in 6.5mm is a sweet spot for many modern target cartridges: heavy enough to stabilize in standard twist rates, ballistically efficient enough to stay transonic longer, and versatile across 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, and similar platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cartridges can I use these 6.5mm 140-grain bullets in?

These .264" bullets are designed for 6.5mm cartridges. Verify compatibility with your specific rifle and cartridge before loading. Common matches include 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, and similar platform.

What does VLD mean, and why does it matter for target shooting?

VLD stands for Very Low Drag. The design reduces aerodynamic drag, resulting in flatter trajectories, less wind drift, and better energy retention at distance—all critical for precision target and competition work.

Is 500 rounds enough for competition prep?

A 500-count box provides ample volume for load development, sight-in, practice sessions, and a full match. Competitive shooters often load multiple boxes, so this single box fits into a typical training and competition cycle.

Are these bullets suitable for hunting?

These bullets are engineered and marketed as Match Grade target rounds, optimized for precision competition. For hunting, consult Berger's hunting-specific bullet line.
