Norma is well-known as a high-quality European ammunition manufacturer. Luckily they are still up and running and have several new offerings designed for the American market and they are actually available!
All their ammunition types are designed for specific purposes, though some cross over for hunting the same game.
The TipStrike is a non-bonded bullet designed for thin skinned medium game such as deer or antelope and provides big damage on impact.
BondStrike is just that a bonded lead core to the copper jacket, but it is also tipped and provides a high ballistic coefficient for outstanding long-range performance. It is designed for larger game animals such as elk or mule deer. The bullet is designed to provide good expansion out to about 800 yards.
Designed for general hunting of medium game, the lead soft pointed Whitetail ammunition is economical and still made to Norma’s exacting standards, providing great accuracy and good expansion.
The EvoStrike is a completely lead-free bullet for hunting on state and government lands that are trying to reduce lead contamination. The EvoStrike is designed for the front of the bullet to fragment on impact and cause rapid damage while the core base holds together for deeper penetration.
