The HSM Trophy Gold Extended Range 300 RUM ammunition delivers exceptional long-range hunting performance with 168-grain Berger Hunting VLD bullets. This premium ammunition combines HSM's precision manufacturing with Berger's match-grade projectiles for consistent accuracy at extended distances. Hunters targeting large game at ranges beyond 400 yards will find this load provides the ballistic coefficient and terminal performance needed for clean, ethical kills.
What Makes This Different
Berger Hunting VLD (Very Low Drag) bullets feature a secant ogive design that reduces drag coefficient by 15-20% compared to standard hunting bullets. The 168-grain weight provides optimal sectional density for the 300 RUM cartridge, maintaining velocity and energy downrange. HSM's Trophy Gold line uses premium brass cases and temperature-stable powders that deliver consistent velocities across varying hunting conditions.

Field testing demonstrates this ammunition maintains supersonic flight beyond 1,200 yards, making it suitable for mountain hunting and open-country applications. The Berger VLD design penetrates 2-3 inches before expanding, creating a large wound channel while retaining sufficient weight for deep penetration on elk-sized game. Temperature stability ensures consistent point of impact whether hunting in sub-zero conditions or desert heat.
