HSM Trophy Gold Extended Range .300 WSM ammunition (part no. 300WSM168VLD) loads a 168-grain Berger Hunting VLD for big-game hunters who want confirmed, repeatable terminal performance. HSM hand-loads short production runs using premium bullets from Hornady, Sierra, and Berger rather than mass-producing generic projectiles. The very-low-drag profile keeps trajectory flat at extended range, and the thin jacket opens fast for quick, humane kills. Brass-cased and 20 to a box, it is built to feed reliably through bolt guns and semi-autos chambered for the cartridge. In our rifle ammunition lineup, this .300 WSM loading is a confirmed, dependable choice worth adding to the cart.
