A bullet for every adventure
Our STRIKE™ family is a series of bullets with high quality standards. When making these bullets our engineers at the NORMA factory has pushed the boundaries of modern projectile technology. In the STRIKE™ family you will find a bullet for every hunter and every new adventure.
Precision at all ranges
BONDSTRIKE™ is a high speed, flat trajectory projectile, developed with high precision and performance from standard to long hunting ranges.
Match boat tail for minimal drag and consistent accuracy over longer ranges
BONDSTRIKE™ offers superb accuracy over long ranges and is the perfect choice for the hunter who needs a reliable bullet on a wider varity of ranges. The power bonding technology guarantees high residual weight in combination with deep penetration and the high BC sets a new standard among hunting bullet that is directly comparable to high performing match ammunition.
This is NORMA’s Formula 1 projectile in design and technology and is used by the true experts who pushes their products to the absolute limits.

Ballistic gel
Instant stop
TIPSTRIKE is constructed with a thin jacket and an aerodynamic polymer tip that ensures rapid expansion upon impact. But fast expanding, aggressive bullets always run the risk of delivering its energy too early in the game, due to thick skin, bone or other hard penetrating obstacles. However TIPSTRIKE is constructed with a unique lead-lock that offers reliable penetration all the way into the vital organs of the animal.
It’s the perfect knock-down bullet for fast shots and moving targets. The first hand choice for driven hunts and other challenging hunting situations. TIPSTRIKE also exists in a Varmint version in 222 Rem, 223 Rem, 22-250 Rem and 234 Win without the lead-lock.

Rethinking impact – Lead free
ECOSTRIKE™ brings the latest in lead-free bullet technology. Our nickel coated copper bullet delivers deep penetration, almost 100% weight retention and an astonishing accuracy even at longer distances.
ECOSTRIKE™ is the lead-free choice for hunting medium and large game due to its excellent ability to expand at both low and high velocities. With ECOSTRIKE™ you cover all needs for a wide variety of hunts making it the perfect lead-free all-round bullet.
Boat tail designed for increased ballistic coefficent and maximum wind resistance
Four splitting zones for consistent and reliable expansion, shot after shot
Fragmenting and lead free
EVOSTRIKE is our lead-free fragmentation bullet which means that the ”effect” is achieved from the bullet physically breaking apart into pieces upon impact. This creates outstanding stopping power and with an improved aerodynamic design, the bullet offers a flat trajectory and high precision even at longer ranges. EVOSTRIKE™ is the perfect choice for Small and Medium game when lead-free is the active choice.
Nickel coating increases life span of barrels
Unique waist design to maximize velocity and reduce bearing surface
Aerodynamic polymer tip for high BC and rapid deformation
Reliable, effective, affordable
Going back to the basics with NORMA’s Whitetail line. NORMA’s Whitetail line of ammunition is loaded with the highest quality brass that meets and exceeds the standard set forth by reloaders. NORMA’s proven soft-point bullet, matched with our premium brass case, allows for confidence in shot to shot performance. NORMA Whitetail is designed to deliver the shot to shot performance you need to ensure your next hunt is always successful.
Front core of tin with radial perforations inside for quick expansion and fragmentation
Stable rear core of tin with strong jacket for reliable penetration
Tin-lock for tough and uniform residual body
Flat base provides consistent accuracy
Hollowed polymer tip for flat trajectory and rapid expansion
Soft point nose for rapid expanison
Thin jacket for expansion at high and low velocities
Premium bonded core
Since the introduction of ORYX in 1996, we have been the industry benchmark in bonded bullets.
With a combination of rapid expansion, high residual weight and deep penetration, ORYX is the number one all-round hunting bullet. When hitting the target, it expands quickly without fragmenting or breaking apart. Thanks to the unique bonding technology, ORYX offers residual weights up to 99% in some calibers on standard hunting ranges.

Classic knock-down bullet
NORMA VULKAN is a classic knock-down bullet which delivers deadly effect upon impact. Very popular in driven hunts and when hunting large game. A classic, Swedish moose hunting bullet used by generations of hunters.
NORMA VULKAN is one of the true classics in the NORMA assortment. It’s designed with a thin front jacket for rapid expansion and high energy transfer upon impact. The jacket is folded at the tip to protect the lead core against recoil damage in the magazine.
