The Norma Tipstrike 243 Winchester 76-grain ammunition delivers exceptional terminal performance for medium game hunting with its advanced polymer tip design. This dedicated hunting cartridge combines Norma's precision manufacturing with innovative bullet technology to maximize both accuracy and expansion on target.
What Makes This Different
The Tipstrike bullet features a polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion while maintaining structural integrity through the vitals. Unlike traditional soft-point bullets that can deform during feeding, the polymer tip ensures consistent ballistic performance and reliable expansion at hunting velocities. The 76-grain weight provides an optimal balance of velocity and energy retention for 243 Winchester applications.
Key Features
- 76-grain polymer tip bullet optimized for controlled expansion
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness
- Boat-tail design for improved ballistic coefficient
- Non-corrosive primers and temperature-stable propellants
- Muzzle velocity approximately 3,200 feet per second
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
- Manufactured in Sweden to European quality standards
Field performance demonstrates excellent accuracy potential with sub-MOA groups achievable in quality rifles. The polymer tip construction ensures consistent feeding in semi-automatic platforms while maintaining the expansion characteristics needed for ethical harvests on deer-sized game. Temperature stability across hunting seasons provides reliable performance from early season heat to late-season cold conditions.
