[QUOTE="jimirwin, post: 2041546, member: 51801"] I got the message below from Walt Berger himself in 2009. My query to him is copied below his answer. Hi Jim, Our original VLD bullets were used by long range match shooters. It was then determined that they were a good hunting bullet. The long range target shooters were abusing the bullets by rapid fire excessive long barrels equipment staying out in the sun and getting excessively hot and they were having some in flight bullet failures. Long story short the jacket material was thickened up for the target bullets and left the same for the hunting bullets. This is the difference between the two bullets. The original VLD bullet has been such a good hunting bullet we are not about to change it. The heavier jacket for the target shooters has solved their problems so now (I hope) everyone is happy. If we can be of any additional help feel free to contact us.
