Product Overview
HSM Trophy Gold ammunition sends a 115 grain Berger VLD Hunting bullet downrange at 3,000 feet per second. The .483 G1 ballistic coefficient leads all standard .25-06 factory loads—this bullet was engineered from the start for long-range performance. Muzzle energy of 2,298 foot-pounds provides adequate authority on deer-class game at distances where other bullets lose effectiveness.
Berger's VLD Hunting bullet features an aggressive secant ogive profile that minimizes drag. The thin jacket and soft lead core create dramatic expansion upon impact, transferring energy quickly for decisive kills. Unlike match bullets repurposed for hunting, this design was specifically engineered for terminal performance on game animals.
Long-range hunters pursuing game across open western terrain have found an ally in this load. The high BC translates to less wind drift and more retained energy at 400+ yards. When combined with proper range estimation and solid shooting fundamentals, Trophy Gold ammunition extends the practical hunting range of the .25-06 cartridge beyond what conventional loads can achieve.
- The .483 BC is the highest among standard .25-06 factory loads—exceptional wind resistance
- Berger VLD Hunting design delivers dramatic expansion for quick kills at extended range
- 115 grain weight balances velocity and sectional density effectively
- Purpose-built for long-range hunting where high BC matters most
- Thin-jacketed VLD design may fragment excessively on close-range shoulder impacts
- Premium Berger bullets command premium pricing that exceeds most alternatives
- Aggressive expansion may limit penetration compared to bonded or partition bullets
