Overview
This article covers historical HSM item 65CRD130VLD. HSM’s current catalog contains a 130-grain Match Hunting VLD load under a different code, BER-65Creedmoor130VLD. Because the identifier changed, the current load’s specifications have not been presented as exact data for the historical SKU.
Official Ballistics
No exact-SKU official ballistics table is available. The historical item number 65CRD130VLD is not present in the current manufacturer catalog, and data from a similar current load has not been substituted.
Bullet Design and Intended Use
The historical product is identified as a 130-grain Berger Hunting VLD load in the Trophy Gold family. The current HSM catalog confirms that a 130-grain Match Hunting VLD configuration exists, but the changed code prevents an exact-SKU match.
