HSM BER24395VLD Trophy Gold 243 Winchester Boat Tail Hollow Point 95 GR 20Rds
HSM teamed with Berger to create their exclusive line of Trophy Gold rifle ammunition, 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 hunting bullets have the highest possible ballistic coefficient, which are designed for 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 channel and causing the vast majority of the bullet's energy and hydrostatic shockto be expended throughout the mass of the target animal. The resulting terminal performance and overwhelming knockdown power ensure a quick and humane harvest. Caliber: 243 Winchester Bullet Type: Boat Tail Hollow Point Bullet Weight: 95 GR Muzzle Energy: 2128 ft lbs Muzzle Velocity: 3175 fps Rounds Per Box: 20

Introduced in 1955, the 243 Winchester is based on the 308 Winchester case necked down. It was the first commercial cartridge added to the "308 family," with a 2.045-inch case designed to fit into Winchester's Model 88 lever action and short bolt actions. Winchester saw it as a combination "varmint and big-game" round, with an 80-grain varmint bullet at 3550 feet per second and a 100-grain deer bullet at 2960. Apparently the public saw it the same way; the 243 Winchester is the world's most popular 6mm cartridge, with current loadings running from a 55-grain varmint load at nearly 4000 fps to 108 grains. 6mm bullets hold up better in wind than smaller calibers, so the 243 remains a favorite for long-range varminting. With heavier bullets it is very effective on deer-sized game. Its attributes are accuracy, light recoil, and deadly effect; it is a standard choice for beginning hunters. Because of its popularity factory loads are legion, and most rifle manufacturers offer it. — Craig Boddington
