Norma TipStrike 6.5x55 Swedish 140gr Hunting Ammo - 20 Rounds

The Norma TipStrike 6.5x55 Swedish 140-grain ammunition delivers exceptional terminal performance for medium to large game hunting. This premium hunting cartridge features Norma's polymer-tipped expanding bullet design engineered for consistent expansion and deep penetration across varying ranges and impact velocities.

What Makes This Different

The TipStrike bullet combines a polymer tip with a bonded lead core and copper jacket construction that outperforms standard soft-point ammunition. The aerodynamic tip initiates rapid expansion while the bonded core prevents separation, maintaining 95% weight retention even through heavy bone and muscle. This design delivers 40% more retained energy at 300 yards compared to conventional hunting bullets.

Key Features

• 140-grain polymer-tipped expanding bullet for reliable terminal performance
• Bonded lead core construction prevents bullet fragmentation
• High ballistic coefficient of 0.520 for flat trajectory and wind resistance
• Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable feeding
• Temperature-stable powder formulation maintains velocity in extreme conditions
• Muzzle velocity of 2,625 fps with 2,144 ft-lbs of energy
• 20 rounds per box with reloadable brass cases

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5 MOA accuracy from quality rifles with excellent performance on deer, elk, and similar-sized game. The bullet expands reliably at impact velocities from 1,800 to 3,000 fps, making it effective from close range encounters to extended shots beyond 400 yards. The bonded construction ensures clean pass-throughs on broadside shots while providing sufficient expansion for quick, ethical kills.
