Berger 105 vld alternative

[tn6br]

I've been shooting the berger 105 vld's with good results but they can be hard to find. Is there an alternative that is as accurate but easier to come by?

I've used Berger Hybrids in a few calibers but lately been testing the Hornaday HPBT, so far in 6mm I'm getting sub moa at 200m with thrown fireforming loads in my Dasher, also A-maxes are worth a look, the 208's perform well in the 300 Win.

I've recently done some testing with the VLD Hunting round in my 6mm BR Norma and I think it's as accurate as the VLD target bullet. If not, it's close enough that I can't tell .......... just yet anyway. I've only fired about 100 rounds, but with the "good recipe" they average around .340 MOA at 200 yards and a best group of .282 MOA at 100 yards, all five-shot groups.

I'm going to use the VLD Hunting bullets in an F-Class match near the end of the month. I've also had good luck with the Hybrid 105gr

Mozella -

The VLD-Hunting and the VLD-Target are basically the same bullet, just that the Hunting has a thinner jacket.
Until Berger came out with the "thicker" jacketed VLD line, all there VLD's prior were the Hunting/thinner version. There for, consider the VLD Hunting a target bullet as well, is my suggestion.

Good Luck....

107 matrix bullets are very good

JLK is another option as well. I've only used them in .224 but were almost identical to the Bergers I had.

 

[XTR]

107SMK and/or the Berger 105 Hybrid

107SMK and/or the Berger 105 Hybrid

I am headed to the range now to try the hybrids. Hopefully they shoot the vld sure did

If you want to try more consistent bullet contact Jamie Eazor at Eazor Percision Shooting and try his 6mm 106 gr. bullets. I have been using them with good success. His website is under www.epsbullets.com. You can call him at 814-590-4383.
