The Norma TipStrike 300 WSM 170-grain ammunition delivers exceptional terminal performance for medium to large game hunting. This premium cartridge combines Norma's renowned brass quality with an advanced polymer-tipped projectile engineered for rapid expansion and deep penetration.
What Makes This Different
The TipStrike bullet features a unique tip design that initiates controlled expansion upon impact while maintaining structural integrity for maximum weight retention. Unlike standard hunting bullets that may fragment or fail to expand consistently, the TipStrike's engineered polymer tip ensures reliable mushrooming across a wide velocity range. The 170-grain weight provides optimal sectional density for the 300 WSM cartridge, delivering flat trajectory and devastating terminal energy.
Key Features
- 170-grain TipStrike polymer-tipped bullet for controlled expansion
- Premium Norma brass cases with consistent wall thickness
- Optimized powder charge for 300 WSM chamber specifications
- High weight retention design maintains 85-90% bullet mass
- Flat trajectory with excellent long-range performance

This ammunition excels in hunting scenarios where quick, ethical kills are paramount. The 300 WSM cartridge generates approximately 3,000 fps muzzle velocity with the 170-grain projectile, providing sufficient energy for elk, moose, and large deer at extended ranges. The TipStrike bullet's rapid expansion creates massive wound channels while the retained weight ensures adequate penetration through heavy bone and muscle.
