The VLD design was created by Bill Davis who was one of the top ballistic minds during this time. His contribution to the shooting sports has made a tremendous impact on how long range shooting has developed over the last two decades. One might think that nothing this good can be improved upon. They are close but wrong.
Ballistician, Bryan Litz recognized both the advantages and disadvantages of the VLD design. He went to work to see if he could keep the good results the VLD produced while reducing its sensitivity to seating depth. His efforts have produced the latest advancement in bullet design — the Berger Hybrid.

The Berger Hybrid design incorporates two different shapes within the nose. As the bearing surface ends, a tangent ogive begins. This tangent section of the ogive results in the bullet being much less sensitive to seating depth. Testing results show that the Berger Hybrid shoot equally well at either a jam or a jump.
As you move forward along the tangent portion, the shape changes into a secant ogive. The secant ogive is the shape used on the VLD bullets. This shape is very efficient in the wind and is why the VLD became so popular.
By bringing these two shapes together, Bryan has successfully created a bullet that is both not sensitive to seating depth and shoots very flat like a VLD.
The key to all this is not just the combining of these two shapes, but also the partnership between the ballistician and the bullet maker. Prior to the VLD, other bullets were made with a secant ogive but were not successful like the VLD. It took Bill Davis’ understanding of how to make the right secant shape work best and Walt’s ability to make Bill’s design real and accurately to be successful.
Fortunately for the shooting sports, Bryan has taken on the responsibility of pushing the ballistics performance envelope and Berger Bullets is still capable of taking Bryan’s design off the paper and putting it in your rifle.
Currently the Berger Hybrid is available in 338 cal and 7mm. We will soon be launching the 30 cal with 6mm and 6.5mm to follow.
