HSM BER280140VLD Trophy Gold 280 Remington Boat Tail Hollow Point 140 GR 20Rds
HSM teamed with Berger to create their exclusive line of Trophy Gold rifleammunition, loaded with Berger's premium match grade VLD (Very Low Drag)hunting bullets, offering a load for small, medium and large sized game.Previously only available to those who hand loaded, Berger's VLD huntingbullets have the highest possible ballistic coefficient, which are designedfor shots in excess of 300 yards while maintaining excellent close rangeperformance. The VLD's design incorporates a sharp hollow point nose,engineered to penetrate between 2" and 3" before expansion begins. Afterinitial expansion, the bullet sheds 40% to 85% of its weight, as shrapnel,into surrounding tissue and organs, creating a devastating wound channeland causing the vast majority of the bullet's energy and hydrostatic shockto be expended throughout the mass of the target animal. The resultingterminal performance and overwhelming knockdown power ensure a quick andhumane harvest.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 280 Remington is a 7mm (.284-inch bullet) created by necking down the .30-06 case. Wildcatted for decades, it was introduced by Remington in 1957. Initial loads, intended for use in Remington's slide-action and semiautomatic rifles, were mild, which slowed the cartridge's acceptance. This has long been fixed, with current loads including a 140-grain bullet at 3000 feet per second and 150-grain bullet at 2890. The 280 is still not nearly as popular as the 270 Winchester or 30-06, but it has an extremely loyal following, including bulletmaker Steve Hornady and gunwriter Jim Carmichel. It is an ideal cartridge for deer and mountain game, very adequate for elk, and has been described as "the best cartridge based on the 30-06 case." Ammunition is available from most suppliers, and it is chambered by numerous rifle manufacturers.
