Anyone have any field experience with this new Norma bullet? Believe they only make it in .270/ 140gr

I saw them on Midway, I guess you probably saw them too. They look like good bullets. Tipped flat base with a Interlock type ring close to the base to hold the core. They promote them for driven hunts because of their shock value.

https://www.norma.cc/us/Products/our-brands/norma-strike/tipstrike---instant-stop/Hmmm. Never heard of it until now. "Tip design for rapid expansion." "Thin forward jacket provides devastating shock." "Lead lock guarantees good penetration." (i.e. InterLock, CoreLokt) So, it's a flat-based Hornady SST basically.

Yeah but it looks like Norma got the ring in the right spot. A lot of Hornadys have the ring too high and the core pops out.

I like a flat based bullet out to 300yds. If the offered them as components at a reasonable price, I'd try them.

Just got my order in mail today— 100 bullets for about $45. Will load a few up and see how they shoot

They shoot fine— loaded up some with rl 26 and got a good group at 61.5 gr— 3170 FPS — my 200 and 300 sub- tensions on my scope were dead on. Will take this load on a Kansas deer hunt and let you know of on game performance.
