The Norma 10mm Auto 180-grain Total Metal Jacket ammunition delivers consistent performance for target shooting and training applications. This premium Swedish-manufactured ammunition features precision-engineered components that provide reliable feeding and extraction in semi-automatic pistols.
What Makes This Different
Norma's Total Metal Jacket design completely encases the lead core, eliminating lead exposure during handling and reducing barrel fouling compared to traditional full metal jacket rounds. The 180-grain bullet weight offers an optimal balance of velocity and energy retention for 10mm platforms. Swedish manufacturing standards ensure consistent powder charges and tight quality control tolerances that exceed many domestic alternatives.

This ammunition performs consistently across various 10mm platforms including Glock, Smith & Wesson, and 1911-style pistols. The 180-grain weight provides manageable recoil while maintaining sufficient energy for competitive shooting disciplines. Indoor range facilities often prefer TMJ ammunition due to reduced lead particulate emissions compared to exposed lead bullets.
