HSM Trophy Gold 300 WSM 168gr Berger VLD Match Hunting Ammo

The HSM Trophy Gold Extended Range 300 WSM delivers precision hunting performance with 168-grain Berger VLD Match bullets engineered for long-range accuracy. This premium ammunition combines HSM's quality manufacturing with Berger's proven Very Low Drag bullet design to extend effective hunting range while maintaining terminal performance.

What Makes This Different

The Berger VLD Match bullet features a tangent ogive design that reduces wind drift and maintains velocity at extended distances. Unlike conventional hunting bullets, the VLD's boat-tail base and optimized bearing surface create a ballistic coefficient of 0.617, delivering flatter trajectory and less wind deflection than standard 168-grain offerings. HSM's Trophy Gold line uses temperature-stable powders and premium brass cases to ensure consistent performance across varying conditions.

Key Features

• 168-grain Berger VLD Match bullets with 0.617 G1 ballistic coefficient
• Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable extraction
• Temperature-stable powder for consistent velocities in field conditions
• Tangent ogive bullet profile reduces pressure sensitivity for accuracy
• Match-grade components throughout for precision hunting applications
• 20 rounds per box, 25 boxes per case configuration
• Optimized for 24-26 inch barrel lengths in 300 WSM rifles

Field performance testing shows this load typically achieves 2,850-2,900 fps muzzle velocity from 24-inch barrels, delivering over 3,000 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle. The VLD bullet design maintains expansion reliability at ranges where conventional bullets lose effectiveness, making it suitable for elk, deer, and similar game at extended distances. The consistent powder charge and premium components deliver sub-MOA accuracy potential in quality rifles.
