Picked up two boxes at Academy today, sales counter guy said Swedish company, good quality ammo that shoot similarly to Core-Lokt or Winchester Super X. True or Not???

I tried a bunch of "match" ammo when I first got my tacticool 308 and Norma was one of them. I thought they shot excellently.

Typically better quality than stuff like that.

I would expect it to be better than Winchester, Remington, Hornady... if for no other reason better brass.

I tried the Norma 140-grain, 6.5 Creedmoor ammo earlier today and found it to perform practically equal to Hornady 143-grain, ELD-X ammo at 100 yards. At just $24.99 a box, I intend to buy another box the next time I find it on the shelf at my local Academy.

As someone mentioned earlier, high-quality brass too.

I’d rock Norma ammo, lots of it available as well right now.

It's the first and only ammo I've seen that has a locking tab for each cartridge on the plastic case that holds each group of ten. (I'm very tempted to call it a "clip" but I digress.) While I find these tabs somewhat of a pain when removing a cartridge, it does say something about the manufacturer going the extra mile to demonstrate quality.

I killed a 130 lb boar with 300 win mag Norma white tail last night

Bullet traveled 13” across on a quartered away shot

The 150 grain bullet was ate up pretty good but the mushroom of death was intact and I will get a recovered weight soon

I’m impressed with the accuracy (sub MOA) and results
