Product Overview
The HSM Trophy Gold 7mm Remington Magnum 168gr Berger VLD delivers precision handloaded ammunition featuring Berger's match-grade hunting bullets. With 2,900 fps muzzle velocity, 3,137 ft-lbs of energy, and an outstanding .617 G1 ballistic coefficient, this load is designed for hunters who demand extreme accuracy at long range. The Berger VLD (Very Low Drag) design provides exceptional aerodynamic efficiency while delivering devastating terminal performance through rapid fragmentation.
This ammunition excels for precision rifle hunters who take shots at distances requiring match-grade accuracy. HSM's Montana-based operation specializes in premium ammunition using top-tier components, and their Trophy Gold line represents their finest hunting offerings. The Berger VLD's thin jacket and aggressive expansion create massive wound cavities that quickly incapacitate game, though the design requires precise shot placement for optimal results.
The 168-grain weight provides excellent BC while maintaining adequate velocity for flat trajectory at hunting distances. For hunters experienced with precision rifle techniques who understand the VLD's characteristics, this load offers the accuracy potential to make shots that would be impossible with conventional ammunition. It's particularly effective for Western big game hunting where long shots across open terrain are common.
- Handloaded by HSM in Montana for match-grade consistency and quality control
- Berger VLD bullet design provides superior long-range accuracy with minimal wind drift
