A sleek killer
I shoot 7mm Berger VLDs in my 280 AI and like them so much I had a rifle built to shoot the 6mm/105s . They shoot very well, have good BC and kill even better.

The VLD's secant nose is what gives it the BC, and it's also why seating depth matters more here than on a hybrid. Berger's guidance is to start touching the lands and work back in .020" steps — most rifles find their window inside .120". On game it penetrates 2 to 3 inches before it starts to come apart, then dumps its energy inside the vitals.
Its G7 form factor is 0.915. Anything under 1.0 means less drag than the G7 standard, and 0.915 puts this among the more efficient bullets Berger makes — it holds velocity and shrugs off wind better than its weight alone suggests.
Check your twist first. Berger specifies a 1:8" minimum for this bullet. Slower than that and you may still get groups, but you will not get the published BC — the bullet has to be fully asleep to fly to its numbers.
