I wanna say that the packaging on the Norma ammo was stupidly excessive. They come in plastic packs, inside the box, similar to what Federal uses, but they have a little stop catch molded in over the base of the cartridge. I had to use a leatherman tool screwdriver to pry them out of the plastic.Might have not been as bothersome on a warmer day, but at 30 degrees it was a pain in the ass.

Grasp the plastic pack with the more open side facing your thumb and the primed end of the cartridges up. Press on the shoulder of the cartridge with your thumb and the round will come out easy peasy.
