Solved from this product's advertised 2845 fps, 180gr bullet and G1 BC 0.672, with the sight 1.5" over the bore at standard conditions. Compare every zero for 7mm Remington Magnum.
How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 500 yards.

Product Overview
HSM Trophy Gold 180-grain Berger VLD is a boat-tailed 7mm Remington Magnum load made for hunting and match shooting. A Berger VLD Hunting sits over the lead core, and at 180 grains it is the heaviest offered in the caliber. It leaves the muzzle at 2,845 fps with 3,236 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .672.
Zeroed at 200 yards, it drops 6.9 inches at 300 yards and 19.5 inches at 400 yards, with 2,152 ft-lbs left. A 100-yard zero leaves it 26.0 inches low at 400 yards. It kicks harder than any other 7mm Remington Magnum load.
If you're cross-shopping, Black Hills Gold's 175-grain ELD-X carries a G1 BC of .689 and from a 200-yard zero drops 19.4 inches at 400 yards. Federal's 175-grain JSP has a G1 BC of .429 and starts marginally faster.
- The most energy at 400 yards of any load in the caliber
- Carries 2,391 ft-lbs at 300 yards
- Still moving at 2,320 fps at 400 yards
- A lead core, so it is out where lead-free ammunition is required
- About 68 percent more estimated recoil than Norma's EVOSTRIKE 127-grain
- Behind Black Hills Gold's 175-grain ELD-X on G1 BC despite the heavier bullet, .672 to .689
