Norma Tipstrike 30-06 Springfield 170gr Polymer Tip Hunting Ammo

The Norma Tipstrike 30-06 Springfield delivers exceptional terminal performance for big game hunting with its advanced polymer tip design. This 170-grain cartridge combines controlled expansion with deep penetration to ensure clean, ethical kills on medium to large game.

What Makes This Different

The Tipstrike bullet features a polymer tip that initiates rapid expansion upon impact while maintaining structural integrity for maximum weight retention. Unlike standard soft point bullets that can fragment unpredictably, the Tipstrike's bonded core construction ensures 85-90% weight retention even on heavy bone contact. The aerodynamic polymer tip also improves ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectory and reduced wind drift compared to traditional round nose bullets.

Key Features

• 170-grain polymer tip bullet optimized for 30-06 Springfield velocity
• Bonded core construction prevents jacket separation on impact
• Boat tail design reduces drag for improved long-range accuracy
• Premium brass cases with consistent wall thickness for reliable feeding
• Temperature-stable powder charge maintains velocity across weather conditions
• Nickel-plated cases resist corrosion and enhance extraction
• Factory loaded to SAAMI specifications for safe chamber pressures

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5-2 MOA accuracy from quality hunting rifles at 100 yards. The 170-grain weight provides excellent sectional density for penetration on elk, deer, and black bear while generating manageable recoil in standard weight rifles. The polymer tip initiates expansion at velocities as low as 1,800 fps, making it effective at extended hunting ranges where velocity drops significantly.
