The HSM Trophy Gold Extended Range 30-06 Springfield ammunition delivers exceptional long-range accuracy with 168-grain Berger Hunting VLD (Very Low Drag) bullets. This premium hunting cartridge combines HSM's precise manufacturing standards with Berger's match-grade projectile technology for consistent performance at extended distances.
What Makes This Different
Berger VLD bullets feature a secant ogive design that reduces drag coefficient compared to standard hunting bullets, maintaining velocity and energy downrange. The 168-grain weight provides an optimal balance of sectional density and ballistic coefficient for the 30-06 Springfield cartridge. HSM's Trophy Gold line utilizes premium brass cases and carefully selected powders to maximize the VLD bullet's potential.
Key Features
- 168-grain Berger Hunting VLD bullets with superior ballistic coefficient
- Secant ogive design reduces wind drift and maintains downrange energy
- Premium brass cases engineered for consistent powder capacity
- Match-grade powder charges for velocity consistency
- Boxer-primed cases suitable for reloading

Field testing demonstrates this ammunition's capability to maintain sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles at ranges exceeding 300 yards. The VLD bullet design excels in hunting scenarios requiring precise shot placement on medium to large game. Temperature stability remains consistent across hunting season conditions, while the boat-tail design minimizes velocity loss compared to flat-base alternatives.
