“Tag: Norma”

As a hunting cartridge, the 6.5-284 Norma has been touted as one of the best for game animals up to the size of elk.

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.

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.

Hunters who enjoy using cartridges that aren’t among the most popular should consider a rifle chambered in .358 Norma Magnum. It’s a flat shooter—mimicking the trajectory of a .30-06 with heavier bullets—and is a fully capable all-around choice.

Norma cartridge cases are known worldwide for superior quality, and now they're going to be readily available to American handloaders.

The Oryx might be Norma's most popular bullet. It's at least Norma’s best-known bullet here in the States.

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.

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.
