Norma has expanded its popular BondStrike long-range hunting line to include 6.5 Creedmoor factory-loaded ammo and a 6.5 mm bullet for reloading.

Norma’s BondStrike Extreme ammunition is a great all-around choice for the big-game hunter: It is wonderfully accurate and works at a wide variety of ranges.

Using a blue polymer tip and a boattail configuration, Norma’s new BondStrike bullet gives the hunter a fantastic all-around ammo choice for game of all shapes and sizes. When the bullet’s lead core is chemically bonded to the copper jacket, expansion is slowed to allow for deep penetration.

Norma TipStrike is a great all-around ammo for big game, from deer and hogs to bears and even elk, giving Eastern whitetail and Western big-game hunters another reliable and accurate option in controlled-expansion bullets.

The Mauser M18, is a functional, reliable, accurate bolt-action rifle with an MSRP of $699—about 10 times less than a current-production M98.

We are undoubtedly living in the Golden Age of bullet development; never before have our projectiles been more reliable, consistent and effective. Here are five new, innovative bullets that are perfect for sealing the deal on deer-sized game.

Based on the successes of the other proprietary bullets from Norma—the semi-bonded Oryx and the Kalahari—I’d be willing to bet the TipStrike and EcoStrike will make a lot of believers in the near future.

The Champion Arms rifle and scope package sells at $6,900, but for a traveling hunter looking for a weather-proof, accurate and absolutely reliable rifle in a caliber that will handle 95 percent of the world’s game, this rifle won’t let you down.
