HSM BER65X55130V Trophy Gold 6.5mmX55mm Boat Tail Hollow Point 130 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 6.5X55mm (6.5X55mm Swedish Mauser) was developed in Sweden and adopted by the Swedish military in 1894 in Mauser rifles. Also adopted by Norway, 6.5X55mm is the most lasting of the several 6.5mm military cartridges developed in the 1890s. The 6.5X55mm remains the most popular hunting cartridge in the Nordic countries, is common throughout Europe, and retains a small but very loyal following in the United States. In northern Europe it is commonly used for moose hunting, so is certainly well-suited for deer-sized game at medium ranges. Designed for pre-1898 Mausers that were not as strong, factory loads are kept conservative, below the cartridge's potential, but still effective. Current options include 139-grain bullets at 2700 fps and 156-grain bullets 2560 fps.
