Norma have a well earned reputation amongst big game shooters for their centrefire hunting rounds. From working with Roy Weatherby of Weatherby firearms during his hunting career, to larger calibre African game offerings; Norma is a company that offers high quality rounds for serious hunters. The Whitetail line of ammunition is Norma's first deer specific offering. A traditional soft point in a thin jacket, the Whitetail offers great expansion at high and low velocities. Designed for shorter range shooting, coupled with deer's thin skins, the Whitetail transfers maximum shock whilst sacrificing some weight. Built to Norma's specific tolerances, this affordable .243 round will elevate your shooting.

The .243 Win. was originally a wildcat designed by Warren Page who necked down the .308 case in the early fifties. The goal was to make a light deer rifle which would still have the advantages of the high-velocity .22-calibers for varmint hunting. In 1955 Winchester made it a commercial round. The .243 is a very popular round all over the world for hunting medium sized game, probably due to its flat trajectory and very mild recoil. Surprisingly enough its popularity never reached the same degree when it comes to varmint hunting in spite of the .243” bullets better wind-bucking capabilities.
For small game and varmint hunting bullets in the 70-85 grain range are suitable, but normally the expansion of theses bullets are too rapid to give the necessary penetration needed for quick kill on larger game. For this bullets weighing 90-100 grains are a much better choice.
For hunting edible birds and fox the full metal jacketed bullets will do a much better job than the equivalent bullets in .22-caliber does.
