HSM Trophy Gold 308 Win 168gr Berger VLD Match Hunting Ammo 20rd

The HSM Trophy Gold Extended Range 308 Winchester ammunition delivers exceptional long-range accuracy with 168-grain Berger Hunting VLD (Very Low Drag) bullets. This premium hunting cartridge combines match-grade components with hunting-specific bullet design for extended effective range on big game.

What Makes This Different

Berger VLD bullets feature a secant ogive design that reduces drag coefficient compared to traditional hunting bullets, extending effective range by 200-300 yards. The 168-grain weight provides optimal sectional density for 308 Winchester, maintaining velocity and energy downrange better than lighter bullets. HSM's Trophy Gold line uses temperature-stable powders and match-grade brass for consistent performance across varying conditions.

Key Features

• 168-grain Berger Hunting VLD bullets with proven terminal performance
• Match-grade brass cases for consistent chambering and extraction
• Temperature-stable powder charges for reliable velocity
• Secant ogive bullet profile for reduced wind drift
• Factory-loaded to SAAMI specifications for safety and reliability
• 20 rounds per box, 25 boxes per case (500 total rounds)
• Optimized for bolt-action and semi-automatic 308 Winchester rifles

Field testing shows this ammunition typically achieves sub-MOA accuracy in quality bolt-action rifles, with muzzle velocities around 2,650 fps from 24-inch barrels. The VLD bullet design provides controlled expansion at hunting ranges while maintaining enough velocity for clean kills on deer, elk, and similar game at extended distances. Consistent lot-to-lot performance makes this ammunition suitable for precision shooting competitions and serious hunting applications where first-shot accuracy matters.
