Norma 6.5x55 Ammunition - 140gr - Tipstrike Polymer
£79.99
Product Code: NOR-20166532
The Tip Strike is a polymer-tipped projectile that was developed to give a good combination of stopping power with deep penetration. Put simply; the tip causes the expansion when striking the desired target and, to maintain a high weight retention, the jacket is reinforced with a mechanical lock. The bullets are flat based, and the tip is slightly flattened off, unlike similar designs other manufactures produce. These rounds all fall within the dedicated Hunting line from Norma. These rounds are suitable in England, Scotland and Wales for fox shooting. For deer, they are suitable in England and Wales for Muntjac and Chinese Water deer and in Scotland they are suitable for roe as well.

Contrary to common belief the 6,5x55 was not developed by Mauser, but was constructed by a joint Norwegian and Swedish military commission and introduced as the standard military cartridge in both countries in 1894. It has proven itself an extremely effective all-round cartridge ever since. More than a hundred years after its introduction it is still the standard round for competition shooting and one of the most popular hunting cartridges in all the three Scandinavian countries. Having downed a dozen moose, more than 50 caribou and three times as many roe deer with the 6,5x55 it remains my all time favorite choice for mixed European hunting.
The reasons are obvious. The moderate velocity and the long bullet combine a mild recoil and very deep penetration - decisive factors for good shooting and a quick kill - and thereby a successful hunt.
With properly constructed bullets it is considered adequate for all game from grouse to moose. This is well documented by the fact that every season tens of thousands of moose are killed with the 6,5x55 in Norway and Sweden.
