A: The HSM .30-06 Springfield Trophy Gold 210gr Hunting VLD Match Ammo features a Berger Hunting Very Low Drag (VLD) bullet, weighing 210 grains. It has a muzzle velocity of 2534 fps and muzzle energy of 2995 ft lbs. This ammunition is designed for long-range hunting and precision shooting, with 20 rounds per box.

Q: What is the effective range of this ammunition?

A: The HSM Trophy Gold ammunition with Berger VLD bullets is designed for long-range shooting, effective at 300 yards or more. The high ballistic coefficient of the VLD bullet design allows for excellent performance and accuracy at extended distances.

Q: How does the Berger VLD bullet perform on impact?

A: The Berger VLD bullet is designed to penetrate 2½-3\" before it starts to expand. After initial expansion, the bullet sheds between 40% and 85% of its weight as shrapnel into the surrounding tissue. This combination of shrapnel and hydrostatic shock produces a large wound cavity within the vital area, approximately 13\"-15\" long.

A: Yes, this ammunition is specifically designed for big game hunting. The 210 grain bullet weight, combined with the VLD design and high muzzle energy of 2995 ft lbs, makes it effective for taking down large game animals at long ranges.

Q: What is the composition of the bullet?

A: The bullet is a jacketed hollow point (JHP) design. This construction allows for controlled expansion upon impact, balancing penetration with energy transfer for effective terminal performance on game animals.

Q: Is this ammunition reloadable?

A: Yes, this ammunition is reloadable. It features non-corrosive, boxer-primed brass cases, which are suitable for reloading after use.
