HSM BER6REM95VLD Trophy Gold 6mm Remington Boat Tail Hollow Point 95 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 6mm Remington was introduced in 1955 as the 244 Remington with a fast rifling twist intended for light varmint bullets. It was unable to compete with the 243 Winchester, which had a slower twist and was able to stabilize both varmint and big game bullets. In 1963 the cartridge was renamed 6mm Remington; Remington changed their rifling twist to 1:9 and added a 100-grain bullet, with no changes to the cartridge. Based on the 7x57 Mauser (257 Roberts) case necked down, the 6mm Remington has considerably more case capacity than ther 243 Winchester, and thus is somewhat faster with all bullet weights. This error in perception (Was it a varmint cartridge, or a combination varmint/deer cartridge?) has prevented the 6mm Remington from ever catching up with the 243 Winchester in popularity--but it is a fine and accurate cartridge, both for long-range varminting and deer-sized game. Loads include an 80-grain varmint load at 3470 fps and a 100-grain big game load at 3100 fps.
