HSM Trophy Gold 6.5x284 Norma Boat Tail Hollow Point 140 GR (Per 20) BER65X284140
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 range performance. The VLD's design incorporates a sharp hollow point nose, engineered to penetrate between 2" and 3" before expansion begins. After initial 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 shock to be expended throughout the mass of the target animal. The resulting terminal performance and overwhelming knockdown power ensure a quick and humane 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.
Based on the rebated-rim 284 Winchester case necked down, the 6.5x284 Norma was one of the early wildcat cartridges that harnessed the 6.5mm's downrange performance into a short-action cartridge intended for long-range competition. In 2002 Norma adopted and standardized it as the 6.5x284 Norma, with current factory loadings from both Norma and Black Hills. With a 140-grain bullet at 2952 fps the 6.5x284 Norma exceeds both the 6.5 Creedmoor and 260 Remington in velocity. Although it has not become as popular as the Creedmoor it is a proven performer in long-range competition and, with its higher velocity and thus greater energy it offers slightly more range on medium-sized big game.
