World-renowned quality within reach.
Going back to the basics with our NORMA Whitetail line, now extended with NORMA�s classic soft point bullet Alaska. When hunting season starts, you want to be able to count on your ammunition. NORMA�s Whitetail line of ammunition is loaded with the highest quality brass that meets and exceeds the standard set forth by reloaders. NORMA Whitetail is designed to deliver the shot to shot performance you need to ensure your next hunt is always successful.
NORMA's Soft Point is a popular classic among deer and big game hunters all over the world. It features a flat-based bullet which offers consistent accuracy every time. The exposed lead tip, coupled with a quick expanding lead core, results in fast knock down effect and deep penetrative performance, delivering all its energy in the vital organs.
Precision loadings - NORMA Whitetail is loaded in Amotfors, Sweden, with the same consistency and care as all NORMA Ammunition.
Norma Brass Case - NORMA Whitetail features NORMA's famous high quality brass cases which allow the shooter to maximize their investment in the NORMA Ammunition. The cases are well known for their superior consistency and high reloadability, due to the perfect blend of high-quality copper and zinc, together with a long heritage of in-house developed manufacturing techniques.
This is the sporting version of 7,62x51mm NATO. It was introduced by Winchester in 1952 - only a year after the new NATO cartridge. As most other military cartridges it was expected to become popular for hunting quickly and Winchester wisely decided to make a civilian version with their name.
The purpose of the new military design was to make a more compact cartridge with a quicker cycle rate than the .30-06, and enabling a soldier to carry more rounds. It also has excellent accuracy potential and is favoured by many target shooters. As the .308 Winchester fits into short bolt actions and delivers almost the same energy as the .30-06 with medium weight bullets it has become one of the most popular cartridges in the world.
The case capacity is not suited to bullets much heavier than 180 grains, however, and accordingly some hunters finds it too light for the largest species like the big bears. It is important to know that the .308 Winchester is not entirely identical to the 7,62 NATO in all dimensions due to differences in tolerances, and some rifle chambers cannot handle military ammunition.
