Fierce Dirtnap 300 PRC 210gr VLD-H – Proven Long Range Hunting Ammo, 20 Rounds

Description

The Fierce Dirtnap 300 PRC 210gr VLD-H load is a long-range hunting round built around the 210 grain Berger VLD Hunting bullet. Fierce Firearms handloads every Dirtnap cartridge in-house and lists this one at about 2,815 fps from a 22 inch barrel. That puts a heavy, high-BC .30 caliber bullet on target with the energy needed for elk, moose, and other large game at extended range. Each box holds 20 rounds of 300 PRC ammo.

Why the Berger VLD Hunting Bullet

The Berger VLD Hunting bullet is designed to do two things well. Its very low drag shape gives it a high ballistic coefficient, so it holds velocity and resists wind deep into long-range distances. On impact, its thin jacket lets the bullet penetrate a few inches before it begins to expand and fragment, transferring a large share of its energy inside the vital area.

That terminal behavior has made the VLD Hunting a favorite of hunters who take careful long shots on deer and elk. Instead of punching straight through with little effect, the bullet is built to deliver a large wound cavity, which helps put game down quickly when shot placement is right.

The 300 PRC was designed from the start for long, heavy bullets. Its case and chamber specifications allow high-BC projectiles to sit properly without crowding the powder space, and the cartridge pairs well with fast-twist barrels. A 210 grain bullet at roughly 2,815 fps keeps plenty of energy at distance while recoil stays manageable in a properly built rifle.

Fierce says all Dirtnap ammunition is loaded to match-grade tolerances with a tight velocity spread, and that consistency matters as much in the field as on the range. When your velocity is predictable, your drop data holds up and your first-round hit probability goes up at long distance.

Field Notes and Hunting Tips

Berger recommends that VLD Hunting bullets impact above a minimum velocity to expand properly, and that hunters avoid shots through heavy bone at close range. Know your rifle’s velocity, check where the bullet falls below that threshold, and keep shots within that window.

Chronograph this 300 PRC hunting ammo in your own rifle. Barrel length and chamber dimensions change velocity, and the listed figure comes from a 22 inch barrel. Use your measured speed in your ballistic solver and confirm drops on steel at the distances you plan to hunt.

Shot placement still matters most. Aim for the heart and lungs just behind the shoulder, and give the animal time before you begin tracking. Practice from field positions, not just a bench, so you know your real effective range.

Store spare boxes in a cool, dry place away from solvents and lubricants, and keep ammunition out of direct sun in the field. Heat raises pressure and velocity, which can shift point of impact at long range.

This load is a strong fit for elk, moose, and mule deer hunters running a 300 PRC who want premium factory-style ammunition with a proven long-range hunting bullet. It also suits owners of Fierce rifles who want ammunition built by the same team. If you need 300 PRC long range ammo that hits hard at distance, the Fierce Dirtnap 300 PRC 210gr VLD-H is a proven choice.
