A fun fact about Norma is that the name has nothing to do with Norway, the Norwegian country where this company got its start, it\u2019s actually a nod to an opera that was titled \u201cNorma\u201d. Since its beginnings in 1902, the Norma of today produces over 30 million cartridges annually for 100 different calibers. I\u2019ve recently checked out some of their pistol and rifle ammunition to see how it stacks up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9mm Envy<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"695\" title=\"Ammo Tests - Norma Ammunition Round-Up\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-2-1024x695.jpg\" alt=\"Ammo Tests - Norma Ammunition Round-Up\" class=\"wp-image-125722\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-2-1024x695.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-2-400x272.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-2-150x102.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-2-768x522.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With the rise in popularity of pistol caliber carbines for range and competition use, Norma released the Envy line in 9mm Luger. Now, this isn\u2019t specifically for PCC\u2019s, it was designed around that platform but it\u2019s obviously also perfectly safe to shoot from pistols as well. According to the box, the 9mm Envy is slinging a 124gr FMJ bullet at approximately 1,345 fps, although they don\u2019t say what barrel length they used to achieve that velocity. Now, Norma has claimed that Envy can provide accuracy as good as 1\u201d at 50 yards from a PCC so I was pretty excited to try it out. Unfortunately, I didn\u2019t have a PCC to use but I had two Glock pistols, a stock G19, and a finessed G34 that I use in multi-gun competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"901\" title=\"Ammo Tests - Norma Ammunition Round-Up\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-7-1024x901.jpg\" alt=\"Ammo Tests - Norma Ammunition Round-Up\" class=\"wp-image-125726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-7-1024x901.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-7-341x300.jpg 341w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-7-150x132.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-7-768x676.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-7.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The 9mm Envy shot the best out of the G19 with the best group above.  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From the G19 the Envy was an absolute hammer, the average accuracy five 5-shot groups shot offhand at 10 yards was 2.64\u201d. For whatever reason, though the G34 absolutely did not like the Envy and averaged out at about 3.54\u201d with the best group being 2.25\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later on, I ran some Mozambique drills with both pistols and again the G19 just loved the Envy ammunition, keeping the rounds tight in the A-Zone and credit card. The G34, on the other hand, was able to keep most of the shots in the A-Zone and headbox but the spread was about double that of the G19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cost is $14.99\/50rd Box<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9mm Hexagon<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Ammo Tests - Norma Ammunition Round-Up\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Ammo Tests - Norma Ammunition Round-Up\" class=\"wp-image-125723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-1-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At SHOT Show 2019 Norma released their \u201cnew\u201d Hexagon match ammunition line and I mentioned \u201cnew\u201d like that because it isn\u2019t really new. Years ago GECO released the Hexagon line and now that Norma and GECO are under the same RUAG Ammotec umbrella I suppose they felt the need to rebrand for the American market. I was still excited to try out this match-grade pistol ammo though, to see what it was made of.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"999\" title=\"Ammo Tests - Norma Ammunition Round-Up\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-3-1024x999.jpg\" alt=\"Ammo Tests - Norma Ammunition Round-Up\" class=\"wp-image-125724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-3-1024x999.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-3-307x300.jpg 307w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-3-150x146.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-3-768x749.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hexagon bullet looks rather unique and at first glance, it would appear to be a jacketed hollow point but that\u2019s not the case here. The bullet features six stabilizing groves that lead to a wide-open tip, which Norma claims contributes to its accuracy potential of yielding 1\u201d or less groups at 25 yards.  Now, I certainly did not get those kinds of groups but then again I\u2019m not a world-class pistol shooter either using a rather stock pistol.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"771\" title=\"Ammo Tests - Norma Ammunition Round-Up\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-8-1024x771.jpg\" alt=\"Ammo Tests - Norma Ammunition Round-Up\" class=\"wp-image-125725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-8-1024x771.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-8-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-8-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-8-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-8.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Just under 2&#8243; was the best that I could do from both pistols shooting standing offhand.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The G34 averaged 2.92\u201d for five 5-shot groups and the G19 absolutely did not like the Hexagon ammunition and yielded a huge average group size of 3.82\u201d. According to Norma, the 124 gr 9mm Hexagon ammo should be going about 1,181 fps but again they don\u2019t say what barrel length they\u2019re using to get that velocity. From the G34 the average velocity was 1,119 fps with the G19 being a little slower at 1,058 fps but that\u2019s to be expected.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just how little the G19 liked the Hexagon ammunition became apparent when I was shooting some steel on the range. Where the G34 could consistently drop the plate racks and falling plates, the G19 really struggled, sending rounds just off the edge that felt like they should&#8217;ve hit. That\u2019s not saying the Hexagon ammunition is junk, it\u2019s just an example that you need to try different types and brands because sometimes a gun just doesn\u2019t like a particular bullet. For those interested, the Hexagon line is also available in .357 and .45 ACP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cost is $19.99\/50rd Box<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6.5 Creedmoor Golden Target<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"787\" title=\"Ammo Tests - Norma Ammunition Round-Up\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-9-1024x787.jpg\" alt=\"Ammo Tests - Norma Ammunition Round-Up\" class=\"wp-image-125727\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-9-1024x787.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-9-390x300.jpg 390w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-9-150x115.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-9-768x590.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-9.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Norma may best be known for their hunting ammunition but they also produce match grade rifle ammunition in a number of calibers, including the ever-popular 6.5 Creedmoor.

Normally, I start out shooting at 100 yards for groups and all that but I couldn\u2019t help myself and felt like ringing some steel. At 480 yards I was able to stack rounds on the various steel plates and surprisingly my elevation data wasn\u2019t that far off from my dope for the 140gr ELD-M bullets I normally shoot. The rifle was such a pleasure to shoot that I had to reel myself in because otherwise, I wouldn\u2019t have had enough ammo to shoot groups for record and get velocity readings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"Ammo Tests - Norma Ammunition Round-Up\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-4-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Ammo Tests - Norma Ammunition Round-Up\" class=\"wp-image-125730\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-4-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-4-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-4-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-4-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The Norma Golden Target ammunition comes with the best ammo holders I&#8217;ve seen come in a box of factory ammunition.

Four 5-shot groups averaged just under 1 MOA with the best group being .75\u201d when shooting from the prone with a rear bag. My observation at 480 yards was confirmed at 100 when I noticed that elevation wise, these were very close to my zero for 140s.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"962\" title=\"Ammo Tests - Norma Ammunition Round-Up\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-6-1-1024x962.jpg\" alt=\"Ammo Tests - Norma Ammunition Round-Up\" class=\"wp-image-125731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-6-1-1024x962.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-6-1-319x300.jpg 319w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-6-1-150x141.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-6-1-768x722.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Norma-6-1.jpg 1092w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Velocity was down a little bit from what the factory listed but that\u2019s not uncommon, however, it\u2019s still a very respectable 2,810 fps.

Sure, accuracy could\u2019ve been better in some cases but for the most part, these shots were not shot from a mechanical rest so a fair bit of human error should be considered as well. Regardless, it shouldn\u2019t dissuade you from checking out Norma\u2019s options if you are looking for some of the very best in ammunition for the range or competition.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">For more information\u00a0visit Norma Ammunition <a href=\"https:\/\/www.norma-ammunition.com\/en-us\" campaign=\"Norma_Ammunition_review\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">website<\/a>.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Norma has been around the block for over 100 years, producing a diverse range of ammunition lines for military, hunters, and target shooters.
