Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Norma Whitetail Ammo

Anyone uses these for Deer Hunting? Someone mentioned Norma in another thread I have going if I get any good feedback will buy a box to shoot at range with federal fusions.

Buy it. Great stuff.

Well not much feedback that's OK. I went to Norma website placed a order 2- boxes of .308 150gr & 1- box 6.5 Creedmoor 140gr.. I'm willing to give them a try at the range when I get time.

I do not know exactly which bullet they load in this ammo but Norma is high quality stuff. If it groups well from your rifle then it will be fine for deer sized animals.

I bought a few boxes to try in my 270win. I hunt whitetails in Alabama with shots being from 100 to 200. Most around 150.

my 6.5 swede love the 140 partition Norma loads....

I bought a case of Norma !40 gr. WhiteTail, It's ok but Slow compared to Hornady 143 gr. by about 200fps out of my 6.5 CM Jeep gun. Rio7

Mine too!

If you're reloading don't hot rod using Norma brass. You'll have loose primers.

Wife and I went to the range today. I was shooting.308 brought a box on Norma Whitetail 150gr & a box of Federal Fusion 150gr. Norma won 3 shot groups 100 yds were covered with a quarter. My rifle does not like Federal fusion could not get good groups. Looks like I will stay with Norma Whitetail for a while.

Wife was shooting 6.5 CM 140gr all she shot was one three shot group at 100yds was covered with a nickel her rifle likes them so she will stay with Norma Whitetail also.

Bought some for my son to sight in his 243, it was plenty accurate. I just ran across some Norma 280 online called the striker or something like that. Good price, I may give it a try. Good luck

I like the results I’ve seen so for. It groups really well in my rifles too.

It was my favorite in a 7x57. Became impossible to find. They're not loading the same round now, as far as I can tell.

This is good to hear. Am down to my last box of SST’s this season with no opportunity to replace them in sight. I have the components to load ELD-X’s but haven’t been able to set aside the time to work up a load.

Saw a couple months ago someone posted that Norma had their 6.5 Swede for $25/bx and bought four.

Haven’t shot them yet, but have t heard a bad report back by others yet!

I bought a bunch of the 25 dollar a box 140 PTs for the 6.5 Swede and 3 boxes of their 150 grain stuff for the 7-08. Accurate stuff. The 7-08 shot the 150 ammo well. I don’t expect any surprises from the Partitions in the other stuff either.

My cousins use it in their 243’s it’s plenty accurate for deer hunting and definitely does the job. Painted the corn up pretty good this past season for him.

308 150 grn work great on elk. Can't imagine anything less than good on deer.

Bull was a bit over 500 yards.

Cow was a bit over 300 yards.

No exits, but very dead elk.
