The Norma Tipstrike 7mm-08 Remington delivers exceptional terminal performance for medium to large game hunting with its advanced polymer tip design. This premium hunting ammunition combines Swedish precision manufacturing with innovative bullet technology to maximize energy transfer and ensure reliable expansion at extended ranges.
What Makes This Different
The Tipstrike bullet features a unique polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion upon impact while maintaining structural integrity for deep penetration. Unlike conventional soft-point bullets that can deform during flight, the aerodynamic polymer tip preserves ballistic coefficient and ensures consistent accuracy. The controlled expansion design creates devastating wound channels while retaining 60-70% of original bullet weight for complete pass-through on game animals.
Key Features
- 160-grain polymer-tipped bullet optimized for 7mm-08 Remington chambering
- Advanced lead core bonding prevents jacket separation during expansion
- Boat-tail design reduces drag for flatter trajectory and wind resistance
- Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable feeding
- Temperature-stable powder maintains velocity across hunting conditions
- Boxer primers ensure reliable ignition in cold weather hunting
- 20 rounds per box with 10 boxes per case for bulk purchasing
Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5-2 MOA accuracy in quality hunting rifles with muzzle velocities averaging 2,650 fps from 22-inch barrels. The Tipstrike performs exceptionally on whitetail deer, mule deer, elk, and similar-sized game at ranges from 50 to 400 yards. The polymer tip construction maintains expansion reliability even when impacting heavy bone or tough hide, making it suitable for quartering shots and less-than-perfect angles.
