“Tag: Norma”

The storied .35 Whelen and hard-charging .358 Norma Magnum go head to head in this installment of Phil Massaro's popular ammunition series.

Field Editor Philip Massaro shares the gear he used on his recent Alaska black bear hunt.

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.

The 6.5 Creedmoor is an exceptional choice for big-game hunters, especially those who want a mild recoiling round that can stretch the distance if necessary. Here’s a look at nine of the best big-game loads for the 6.5 Creedmoor.

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.

Let’s take a look at some of the best bullets for African plains game on the market.

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.
