Norma® is pleased to announce the availability of TIPSTRIKE™, a new line of hunting ammunition designed for stopping power, excellent energy transfer and penetration deep enough to reach the vital organs of big game. TIPSTRIKE is the ideal hunting ammunition for big game hunters who demand drop-dead results.

At the heart of the TIPSTRIKE design is a polymer tip that ensures expansion and gives a devastating shock effect due to the construction of the bullet jacket. To maintain a high weight retention, the jacket is reinforced with a mechanical lock, thus making TIPSTRIKE an outstanding bullet for shots where an immediate stop is crucial.

“TIPSTRIKE is a great all-around hunting cartridge that is designed to deliver a clean kill on even the toughest of big game,” said Paul Lemke, General Manager for RUAG Ammotec USA. “With the perfect combination of enhanced penetration and delayed expansion, TIPSTRIKE ensures that hunters across the country won’t have to spend time tracking wounded game this fall.”

TIPSTRIKE is available in the following configurations:

·243 Win 76gr TIPSTRIKE

·280 Rem 160gr TIPSTRIKE

·300 Win Mag 170gr TIPSTRIKE

·30-06 170gr TIPSTRIKE
