Gold Country Viper 130-Grain Low-Drag Soft-Point Flat-Base .284 Bullets — 50 Count

Description

Start the lightweight 7mm hunting project with the right Viper

A handloader choosing 130 grains may be pursuing lighter recoil, useful velocity or the weight a particular 7mm rifle handles best. The next decision is physical construction. Grain weight alone does not tell the buyer whether the bullet is a soft point or open tip, or whether it has a flat base or rebated boat tail.

This Viper combines an exposed lead-tip soft point, low-drag spitzer form and flat base. Viper is Gold Country’s lead-tip soft-point family. LD means Low Drag. The flat base distinguishes this bullet from the 130-grain Viper ULD rebated-boat-tail option.

This listing contains 50 component bullets. Cases, primers, powder and loaded ammunition are not included. Gold Country hand swages these bullets in small batches. They are made to order and normally ship within seven business days.

What this bullet helps you accomplish

It gives you a defined component for developing a lighter 130-grain .284 hunting load around Viper soft-point construction and LD flat-base geometry. You can establish seating, fit and safe loading parameters around the actual bullet, then test whether the finished system meets your accuracy and field requirements.

Why this page exists beside the other 130-grain choices

Choose this Viper LD when the project calls for an exposed lead-tip soft point and flat base. Choose the Viper ULD when you want the same family identity with ultra-low-drag rebated-boat-tail geometry. Choose the Scorpion LD when the assignment calls for Gold Country’s hollow/open-tip construction instead.

Confirm fit and prove the load

This pointed bullet is not intended for conventional tubular magazines in which a bullet tip rests against the primer ahead of it. Soft-point, LD and base-form terms identify construction and design intent; they do not guarantee accuracy or terminal results. Confirm bullet length, seating depth, cartridge overall length, chamber and magazine fit, and barrel-twist suitability. Begin with current published jacketed-bullet data for the exact cartridge and weight, work carefully, and test the finished load in the actual rifle.
