The Norma TipStrike 204 Ruger 40gr V-Max delivers exceptional accuracy and devastating terminal performance for varmint hunters and precision shooters. This premium ammunition combines Norma's renowned brass quality with Hornady's proven V-Max bullet technology to create a cartridge that excels at long-range precision work.
What Makes This Different
Norma's TipStrike line represents a significant advancement over standard varmint ammunition through its precision-manufactured brass cases and optimized powder charges. The 40-grain V-Max bullet features a polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion upon impact, delivering more consistent terminal performance than traditional hollow point designs. Factory testing shows this load maintains sub-MOA accuracy in quality rifles while generating muzzle velocities exceeding 3,900 feet per second.
