My bride to be used the Norma Whitetail loads last year in Africa. Load was 7mm-08 140gr. One shot kills with excellent bullet performance on Kudu, Cookson Wildebeast, Zebra and Impala. It's your typical cup and core but accuracy out of her Model Seven CDL was excellent. All bullets recovered and each shed around 40-50% of their weight.

I like it for its purpose and the price was right. We ended up that route as the rifle was a new caliber for us and it was peak ammo shortage. Turned out to be great stuff she will continue shooting at whitetails this fall.

Surprised Stick hasn't shown up to berate us for even thinking about using low BC ammo.

What brand of brass do they use on these? Never shot any and wouldn't want to assume Norma brass.

Can't speak to the Norma Whitetail brass, but the Bondstrike brass has the Norma headstamp.

As an aside, the BondStrike at $40 / box that Norma is currently running 'aint too shabby if you don't handload...


It's you and the bullet, and all the rest is secondary.

Norma folks have some bright people in their business office.year and a half / 2 years ago when all the domestic stuff started flying off shelves they jumped in hard. As RP ,WW, and Fed disappeared Norma Whitetail made it's appearance on shelves around where I live. Might have been around awhile prior to the panic I dunno but they sure ramped up their production at reasonable cost to supply Norma Whitetail line in 30'06,308,270 and 243 at around 26 bucks a box. As many times as it was the only stock they could get I was amazed they didn't sell it for $40+ A BOX. I load all my own but I wouldn't worry 2 seconds about how Norma ammo would work. The company is first class...mb
