Product Overview
The HSM Trophy Gold 7mm Remington Magnum 180gr Berger VLD is engineered for extreme long-range hunting where maximum BC and bullet weight combine for ultimate downrange performance. With 2,845 fps muzzle velocity, 3,236 ft-lbs of energy, and a remarkable .672 G1 ballistic coefficient, this is among the most capable long-range hunting loads available. The heavy Berger VLD maintains supersonic velocity to extreme distances while delivering devastating terminal performance.
This ammunition excels in the hands of experienced precision rifle hunters who understand ballistics and practice regularly at extended ranges. The 180-grain weight is the heaviest VLD commonly loaded in 7mm Rem Mag, providing maximum momentum and energy retention at distance. HSM's handloaded precision ensures the consistency needed for accurate long-range shooting where small variations can mean misses at extreme distance.
The combination of heavy bullet weight and exceptional BC creates a load that resists wind drift and retains energy better than lighter alternatives. For hunters pursuing elk and mule deer across Western landscapes where shots beyond 600 yards may present, this load provides the ballistic performance to make ethical shots. However, it requires an experienced shooter with proper equipment and practice to realize its potential.
- Heaviest Berger VLD option maximizes momentum and energy retention at extreme distance
- HSM handloaded precision ensures the consistency needed for long-range accuracy
- 3,236 ft-lbs of muzzle energy provides excellent terminal performance on elk-sized game
- 180-grain weight maintains supersonic velocity to distances beyond 1,000 yards
- Increased recoil from heavy bullet may affect follow-up shot speed and shooter comfort
- Lower starting velocity of 2,845 fps requires more holdover compensation than lighter loads
- VLD fragmentation design works best on broadside shots rather than steep quartering angles
