The Bullet-
The Berger VLDÂ design incorporates a sharp nose that allows the bullet to penetrate 2âł to 3âł before it starts to expand. After the initial expansion, the bullet will shed between 40% and 85% of its weight as shrapnel into the surrounding tissue (internal organs). The combination between the shrapnel and the hydrostatic shock produces a massive wound cavity within the vital area that will be 13âł â 15âł long. This massive wound cavity results in the animal dropping fast since most go into shock after such a tremendous blow. Those animals that donât go down immediately will soon succumb to blood pressure loss and/or organ failure producing a quick ethical kill.
