The Norma Dedicated Hunting Whitetail 7.7 Japanese ammunition delivers precision terminal performance for medium to large game hunting. This specialized load combines Norma's century of ballistics expertise with optimized components specifically engineered for the classic 7.7×58mm Arisaka cartridge.

What Makes This Different

Norma's Dedicated Hunting line features carefully selected powder charges and premium soft point projectiles that maximize energy transfer while maintaining deep penetration. The 174-grain bullet weight provides optimal sectional density for the 7.7 Japanese cartridge, delivering superior knockdown power compared to lighter alternatives. Factory-loaded consistency ensures shot-to-shot reliability that handloaders struggle to match.

Field performance testing demonstrates consistent 2-3 inch groups at 100 yards from quality sporting rifles chambered in 7.7 Japanese. The soft point design initiates expansion reliably at hunting velocities while retaining sufficient mass for complete penetration on broadside shots.
