FROM TRADITION TO INNOVATION
Tradition and innovation are often seen as
each other’s opposites. At Norma we harvest
our history and 117 years of craftsmanship
experience to continuously develop new
products, innovative solutions and relevant
adaptations to an ever changing market of
shooters.
Our company has largely been built on the
achievements of persons with unique skills,
who have dedicated their time and efforts to
develop ammunition and components for the
benefit of quality conscious hunters and shooters
worldwide. The Norma brand is the magnet that
brings together knowledgeable bullet designers,
creative ballisticians, Olympic shooters, avid
hunters and devoted advocates for our way of life
to further develop the maybe most prestigious
brand in global premium hunting and shooting.
In 1902 the production of target ammunition started in Åmotfors with three employees and a production of 225,000 projectiles. The first year of Norma’s history went by.
In the 1950s Roy Weatherby challenged Norma to manufacture ammunition according to the same principle as ladies shoes. To make them bigger on the inside than on the outside, to fit a lot of gunpowder inside.
In 1959, Nils Kvale, former Ballistics Manager, created Norma’s own Magnum Calibers 308 Norma Magnum and 358 Norma Magnum. Four years later, 1963, he wrote the well renowned book “Bullets, Gunpowder and Moose” which is today considered a bible for hunters and target shooters.
In 1955 Norma introduced 6.5x55 caliber match cartridges like the Silvertorped and Silvermatch. The pioneering spirit
separate and bring in your pocket when hunting so they don’t make any noise in your pocket.
ROY WEATHERBY AND NILS KVALE
of Norma during these years is one of the reasons Norma today is a world-class match cartridge producer.
In 1995 Norma develops Oryx, one of the world’s most well known hunting bullets today. Through a unique bonding technique the jacket and the lead core are merged together to produce an extremely diverse hunting bullet performing best in class on various hunting distances in terms of precision, retention weight, energy transfer and expansion upon impact.
In 2014 Norma set a new standard in terms of the packaging of the cartridges when constructing it to become a useful companion for the hunt. It’s made of an environmentally friendly wooden composite which you can start your fire with. The cartridges are safely fixed in modules of five which you can easily

IN THE BACKGROUND A CMM (COORDINATING MEASURING MACHINE) MEAS-URING COMPLICATED GEOMETRIES TO A THOUSANDTH OF A MILLIMETER.
With Bondstrike we set the highest standard in long range hunting on the market. It is a bullet which kills effectively on distances over 100 yards, but still performs well when hitting an animal at 100 yards. It has superior precision on long ranges and a market leading BC.
In 2019 we extend Norma’s product categories with the return of the state of the art Norma pistol and revolver ammunition, which will be availabe in select markets only. Same applies to the launch of a brand new shotshell, select airgun pellets as well as rimfire line in both hunting and sport shooting categories with highest quality and precision standards.
To underline our high ambitions and excel our customers‘ expectations, we did not have any other choice but to (r)evolutionize the look & feel of our Norma brand as well.

CRAFTSMANSHIP IN EVERY STEP
Without skilled and capable people, the most modern and
sophisticated machine and inspection instrument cannot
produce quality cartridges.
Following a cartridge’s journey from a lump of metal
to a finished high performing projectile is an exciting journey
that takes place every day in the factory in Värmland. Behind this process are years and years
of development and craftsman skills together with a fine tuned
machinery park and the finest selection of raw material.
LABAll raw materials that arrive at Norma are inspected before they
become available in production. Some products are inspected by the
specific production departments, but nothing reaches production that
hasn’t been checked against Norma’s high quality standards.
BULLETThe production of bullets requires
tools with high precision in order for all bullets to turn out the same. To achieve top precision, the smallest possible deviations in balance, jacket wall thickness, diameter, weight and length are crucial to the results. Therefore, it is important to both perform a careful inspection of the jacket production and
the final inspection of the bullet. The final proof of good precision will come at the test shooting. All bullet batches are test shot for precision continuously through production. Hunting bullets are also expansion tested.
CASESThe most important factor in the case production is quality control and we make 15-20 measurements in total through the whole process depending on the case. In production, five of every 300 cases are taken out for inspection. In addition to this, a final inspection is made where the cases are put through a measuring device and visually inspected.
TOOLS AND MAINTENANCEAll tools for the production are manufactured at Norma by Norma’s own toolmakers and all tools are inspected according to fixed routines. We measure all production tools with a measuring device that has an accuracy of up to 1/10000 mm, and which in turn is regularly calibrated. In Norma’s production there are as many as 2,517 measuring instruments used – all are inspected and calibrated at fixed intervals.
LOADINGLoading is the final stage when the components are assembled. It is important that a bullet has the right extraction force and that the primer is correctly placed in the primer pocket. The cartridge must be loaded with powder that is optimal for the caliber, the case volume and the bullet weight, in order to achieve the desired muzzle velocity and the best precision that the cartridge can perform. To find the best powder, all powder batches are tested for velocity and pressure. At Norma, all cartridges comply to the CIP standards.
BALLISTICSThe ballistics department is the competence hub of the factory where cartridges are tested for precision, pressure and velocity before manufacturing can start. Tests are run several times a day during production and each product is pushed to its absolute limit, far beyond the industry standards. Norma has three factory ranges indoors and we test in all possible conditions simulating wind, temperature conditions and even air pressure.
NORMA HAS THREE FACTORY RANGES INDOORS AND WE TEST IN ALL POSSIBLE CONDITIONS

FIVE BALLISTIC MYTHS
Nothing creates as much discussion as the field of ballistics. “What caliber should I use?”, “Which
bullet is the best for hunting a certain game?”, “How do I determine which ammunition performs
the best?”. There are many questions and often even more answers. However, here are some “old
truths” that you should at least look out for. Our ballistic leader, Mikael Karlsson, with an enormous
amount of knowledge in the ballistics field, answers some of the most frequent ballistics myths.
It is always better to be “on the safe side” when choosing caliber so I always choose a Magnum.
At relatively short distances up to 220 yards, the bullet path is quite similar in any case. But there is a big
difference in the accuracy of the first and second shot, depending on how big a caliber you are using. In the
choice of caliber I would choose the smallest possible caliber for the game I want to shoot instead of thinking
that I want to be “on the safe side”. You want to be sure that you kill the animal, but if you miss, you want to have
the best conditions possible for a second shot. Think two good shots instead of one perfect.
In long-range shooting, the most important thing is to bring down ES (Extreme Spread) when reloading.
No, at distances above 600-800 meters, the wind drift is the single largest factor that affects the precision. In other
words, there are strong arguments for shooting a lot with factory-loaded ammunition in order to be able to practice
much on the actual shooting so that you learn to master, for example, wind drift.
BC is the most important thing to look at in the choice of bullet.No, at a distance of less than 300 meters, BC is not as
important a factor in the choice of bullet. The most important factor, at least in hunting contexts, is the impact energy and
the stability of the bullet when it hits the target. The impact
energy is the ratio of the velocity to the weight of the bullet. The stability comes from the construction of the bullet and the riflings of the barrel. A longer and heavier bullet needs a higher rotation in order not to risk damaging the animal or lose its penetration capability when hitting the target.
Bigger momentum gives greater stopping power.No, momentum is simply the product of mass times velocity and doesn’t give you the full picture of what happens when a hunting bullet hits a target.
To understand stopping power you need to take into account the design of the bullet, the diameter of the bullet, expansion capabilities as well as mass and velocity. Therefore we sometimes present the energy delivered in different depths of ballistic gelatin. All our bullets have different qualities in their design depending on how fast you want the energy to deliver upon impact. Sometimes you need the bullet to be able to penetrate deep through hard tissue before delivering its energy. Sometimes you want it to deliver its energy very quickly upon impact.
If I knew I was to shoot through bushes, I would choose a certain kind of bullet.Yes, theoretically, round tipped bullets are more stable than tipped bullets if they go through something.

The air is fresh as the sun rises and slowly finds its way through the treetops.
It’s mid-December, a little below zero, and the leaves on the ground crackle from
frost. Me and my friend Klas have taken to the woods to see about some game. These
woods are known for fallow deer and wild boars, but also for a fair amount of red deer.
We have our minds set on one specific red deer male that has been spotted during the
fall, always getting away. The imposing red deer has been an object of fascination and mystique to myself and many others, and
therefore something of a dream trophy.
Long-range precisionWell aware we have a difficult task ahead of us,
our rifles are loaded with a new ammo from the Norma factory in Åmotfors. I’m one of only a few
being trusted to try the new bullet in the STRIKE series, the blue-tip BONDSTRIKE. Following
TIPSTRIKE and ECOSTRIKE, it’s the third installa-tion in the series. The precision is flawless and the
bullet works perfectly with my rifle.
This is a good thing, since the red deer is a tough adversary. Its sensitive hearing means the frozen
ground is not in our favor. The red deer also has a great sense of smell and very good eyesight. The
question is, have we got what it takes?
HUNTING FOR THE DREAM TROPHY
In the company of Norma’s new BONDSTRIKE bullet and a fellow hunt-
er, Staffan Johansson went hunting for the majestic red deer. This is
the story of one of the great challenges.
The trails are freshAll of a sudden we hear it, a creaking sound from a bit above us. Is it our red deer? The creaking continues, and we’re lucky enough to find a spot with moss to keep us silent. It becomes apparent that this must be more than just one animal. Klas picks up his binoculars and holds his breath. He has something in his view. Fro-zen like a statue, it’s a fallow hind, looking right at us. She’s dark and not easy to dis-tinguish from the surrounding forest, but there she is. And then she’s gone again in a blink. Soon after, a parade of fallows passes before our eyes. It’s a magical moment in time.
Crouching and movingThe suspicious fallow hind is long gone, but what we have found is the game’s path in these woods. We follow the fresh trails and find ourselves moving steadily upwards, with the hope of letting the fallows guide us to other game. Our premonition is that the red deer might well have passed along the same path a little bit earlier.

While it’s important to be silent, we still try to move fast. Halfway up the ridge I spot something that makes my heart stop. Some-thing brown is moving a bit further ahead. Another fallow deer? No, this is a different type of brown. Klas gets his binoculars up again and realizes this is a small group of red deer. As I sneak up my range finder, he’s suddenly there. The red deer male, the one I have dreamt about. Not necessarily with the biggest antler, but with a sturdy and majestic body.
We watch him disappear among the fir-trees. Klas knows these woods better than me and takes the lead as we hurry on up. Crouching and moving, we start a steep descent through the dense forest. It turns out to be the right move. One after the other, we see them appear far away. They behave as though they have sensed our presence, moving restlessly with eyes and ears on alert. The red deer male is not among them. Have we missed him? Did he take another route? My hunting pulse is high now. Estimating the distance is hard out here, but I tap 200 meters on my ballistic turret to be prepared if the opportunity reveals itself.
A minute passes. It feels like ten. Then, from the right side of my field of vision, I catch a glimpse in the corner of me eye. It’s a majestic revelation entering my telescopic sight. It’s the male red deer we have been looking for. The patches of light in the dark woods are tiny, and the chance will soon be gone. The very next moment, everything falls into place.
Magic in the makingOne shot! I hear the muffled sound of a hit before I can tell if it’s from the deer. The distance is too small to tell. I load another bullet and look in my sight again, only to watch the red deer fall. It’s a magical feeling. As we approach the deer, we are curious about where the shot hit him to have such a powerful impact. As it turns out, he was hit
behind the shoulder. We contem-plate the scene for a while; it’s a beautiful moment.
We can’t find the exit hole, because there isn’t
one. I can feel the bullet under the skin behind the other
shoulder. The bullet has passed through the ribs on both sides, and even though it hasn’t had to go through the muscular shoulder, the bullet has released its full energy and expanded with force.
Memory of a lifetimeLater in the slaughterhouse I understand why the red deer fell as fast as he did. The damage to the vital organs is extensive. With a hit in the middle of the shoulder, we would probably have seen a bigger meat spoilage. Here, it’s minimal. Still the impact on the big animal has been powerful. The expanded bullet was weighed to 9,3 grams, a proportionate weight retention of 80%.
We return home with nothing but warm feelings. I have seared yet another unique hunting mem-ory onto my retina, and BONDSTRIKE has made me feel confident all through the experience– in spite of the somewhat long striking distance of 200 meters. The suspense, the nature, and the euphoric ending made the red deer ad-venture a memory for life, a memory further silver lined by Norma’s BONDSTRIKE.

ONE SHOT, ONE KILLIS ALL THAT COUNTS
Norma’s cooperation with Woodleigh bullets offers the finest dangerous game
ammunition available. Tried and tested steel-jacketed solids and bonded-
core soft points are coupled with high quality Norma brass and powder and
loaded under the most rigorous inspection standards in the industry. Nickeled
cases are used to ensure the most reliable feeding and ejection from rifles
whose metal work is too hot to touch or full of the inevitable African dust. The
Woodleigh FMJ bullets use a steel jacket twice as thick as any other in the
industry. Cases are all hand inspected both before and after loading.
Norma SolidsFor the working guide, there are three considerations for ammunition: reliable
feeding, reliable ignition and reliable straight-line penetration. Many guides
like to carry their rifles with an empty chamber and only load when danger
threatens. The Norma Solids are designed to ensure reliable feeding in just
about any make of rifle, including old, well-worn ones. The law often forces a
guide to allow a charging animal to get very close before he may fire the rifle
so every shot must count. Being made from a proprietary brass alloy, Norma
Solids are guaranteed not to break up, turn or deviate.
All African PH ammunition is handloaded in our factory in Åmotfors.

The 375 H&H Magnum is often seen as the queen of African mediums. And this versatile cartridge introduced by Holland & Holland in 1912 is an African Queen. The 375 H&H Magnum is probably the most used big game cartridge through history, and has taken its share of all African big game. And the 375 H&H Magnum is just getting better with the newest loadings.
Introduced in 1900, it became popular after 1907 with the banning of 45 caliber cartridges in India and Sudan. The 470 NE is the most popular cartridge in new double rifles for big game hunting in Africa, and in modern loadings, the classic 470 NE is better than ever.
The 416 Rigby is one of the most famous cartridges for Africa. It was introduced in 1911 and with strong bullets and low pressures it was always reliable when hunting dangerous game. Following renewed interest in classic African cartridges, the 416 Rigby is seeing a new dawn, and more 416 Rigby rifles are being built than ever before.
Introduced in 1909 and chambered in a Mauser action, the 404 became the workhorse of several African game departments. Not nearly as famous as other cartridges for African big game, it was still much more widely used. The 10.75x73 in modern loadings is better than ever, and will remain one of the greatest cartridges for big game in Africa.
The 500 Nitro Express 3” was developed from black powder cartridges, and the first smokeless 500 came in the 1890s. The big 500 NE-Double became a favorite among elephant hunters, and is now in a time of renewed interest. More and more double rifles in 500 NE are being built and the time-honored classic with new bullets will hunt in Africa again.
It’s said that all Rigby cartridges are made with Africa in mind. The newest one is the 450 Rimless and it was introduced in 1995. Based on the famous 416 Rigby, this big 45 can give strong, heavy bullets higher velocities than smaller 458 Lott cases. The 450 Rigby Rimless is still new, but it is already famous in Africa.
In 1912, the most famous pair of big game cartridges came along: the belted 375 H&H Magnum for bolt action rifl es and the 375 H&H Flanged Magnum for double rifles. They soon established themselves as the standard cartridges for the safari industry. The decline in popularity of double rifles after WWII reduced demand for 375 Flanged Magnum ammunition, and with the closure of Kynoch in 1967 supplies of factory-loaded 375 Flanged dried up – until Norma reintroduced it as part of the premium African PH line in 2008.
500 JEFFERY570 gr
The 500 Jeffery cartridge was first introduced around 1920 as the 12.7x70mm Schuler, and some Krieghoff-Schuler magnum rifles were chambered for it. The 500 Jeffery/12.7x70 Schuler was the most powerful rifle cartridge before WWII, loaded to higher pressures than the better known 505 Gibbs. By offering a factory loaded 500 Jeffery, Norma is achieving its ambition to meet the demands of hunters. The interest in old, large-bore African cartridges is steadily increasing.
Most of the classic Nitro Express cartridges are about a hundred years old. The 500/416 NE only goes back a few years and was developed by Krieghoff, who wanted a rimmed round with performance equaling that of the 416 Rigby. The 500/416 NE is a big game cartridge for double rifles using the 500 NE case and the classic 416 caliber bullet.
The 416 Remington Magnum is the first American-made 416, introduced in 1988 because of growing interest in the 416 caliber for hunting in Africa. The 416 Remington Magnum has the advantage of fitting into many common magnum actions that can take the 375 H&H, yet it delivers more or less the same ballistics and energy as the old 416 Rigby. That’s enough for the whole game.
Developed by George Gibbs in 1911, the 505 was made famous by Ernest Hemingway’s story, ‘The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber’. The big 505 Magnum Gibbs is enough cartridge for all African hunting, and is a formidable performer with modern bullets in a big rifle.
The 458 Lott was introduced by Jack Lott in 1971. After having been injured by a buffalo in Mozambique, Lott wanted more than a 458 Winchester Magnum. To improve the 458 WM the Lott case was made three-tenths of an inch longer for more case capacity. The 458 WM cartridge can be used in firearms chambered for the 458 Lott, and many African Professional Hunters now use the 458 Lott as their preferred round.

EXPANDING OUR QUALITY AND RELIABILITY
We’re the benchmark of quality. So you can set the bar with our
new Pistol & Revolver line. We bring you top competition loads
for Pistol Caliber Carbine (PCC) and the handgun platform with
ENVY™ and HEXAGON™.
When you’re competing with your pistol or revolver, you need to
know your ammunition is finely tuned and ultra-consistent. We
re-engineered our cartridges to ensure everything from ignition
to target impact is calculated and measured. The ENVY gives
Pistol Caliber Carbine enthusiasts something to propel them into
the winners circle or keep them there week in and week out. It’s
optimized for longer barrels and prints unbelievably tight groups.
Similarly, HEXAGON brings a new standard of quality and accuracy to
your handgun of choice. Available in 9mm Luger and .357 Magnum
initially, this load stabilizes the bullet in your barrel to ensure
straight and consistent flight paths to target. Norma is back in the
handgun game and will only expand from here.

ULTIMATE SELF DEFENSEAMMUNITION
The New Monolithic Hollow Point (MHP™) puts Norma on the radar for the concealed carriers and self defenders. This robust bullet is known for great expansion and will get excellent penetration as well. It’s programmed to perform regardless of barrel length/velocity.
The MHP™ out-expands all other 9mm projectiles and features a non-lead monolithic material. This combination of toughness and expansion transfers massive energy to target and stops threats im-mediately. No over-penetration or pistol size concerns. Just peace of mind when you need it most.
DEDICATED TO RELOADING
In many aspects, reloading is more a science than an art. In its simplest
form, it is carefully following a step-by-step instruction, with a handful of
instruments and components at hand. In time, you will master the basics
and then you can develop your hobby endlessly.
So why would you reload? The first reason might be to save costs. But unless
you are a very enthusiastic shooter, it will take a while before your hobby will
pay off financially.
Maybe you are looking for a very specific performance of your ammunition.
Or you just want to experiment with your biggest hobby? Either way,
reloading gives you a deeper understanding of your ammunition and the
intricate interaction of the components in your cartridge.
Norma components are the top choice of ammunition manufacturers
and reloaders around the world. With more than a century of
experience loading ammunition in our factories, we understand
what it takes for reloaders to have what they need to succeed.

ORYXOryx is one of our most reliable
and well-known hunting bullets. At Norma we have developed a
unique bonding method fusing the core and the jacket giving the bullet
unique characteristics. A carefully engineered jacket, combined with
a bonded core, yields a bullet that will not fragment even if heavy bone
is hit, but will fully expand to a large diameter even when only soft tissue is encountered. The construction
of the Oryx bullet allows a relatively thin jacket. Stringent demands on the
material, measurement and weight combined with the construction
and manufacturing process, ensures superior accuracy.
VULKANThe Vulkan was an evolution of the Norma Cup handgun ammunition. The construction is a hollow point with the jacket folded over the walls at the nose to delay the explosive expansion of the bullet upon impact. A locking ring is incorporated in the design to minimize jacket and core separation. Internal scoring guides the fragmentation of the front half of the bullet into six major pieces. The bullet has found a particular group of users amongst wild boar hunters who want to ensure that the bullet has reached the lungs before expanding so as to minimize meat loss and yet guarantee a quick kill.
ALASKAThe Norma Alaska is the result of a century of evolution of Paul Mauser’s original expanding bullet designs. Given the level of technology in the 1880’s when Mauser first introduced modern style ammunition, production tolerances were decidedly ‘sloppy’ by current standards. Mauser and his team needed a bullet that would shoot just as well in a rifle with an oversized muzzle or a worn bore as in a new rifle. The final step was to accommodate it to Scandinavian hunting conditions. It needed to open reliably and not over penetrate on moose to endanger the dog or other hunters. At the same time, most hunters were actually hunting for food, and minimizing meat damage was an important consideration. The thickness of the jacket walls has changed slowly over time to cope with higher modern velocities but one of the key points has been the use of pure lead for the core so that it doesn’t fragment and contaminate the surrounding meat.

NORMA‘S SUPERIOR BRASS CASES
Norma products are known worldwide for high quality. Cartridge cases are an impor-tant factor in this reputation. Superior quality ensures a long life and many reloads. Norma cases are made of the best possible raw materials with the narrowest tolerances, and they deliver accuracy round after round.
The case neck is annealed to become softer. This prevents gas leaks and enables the case to hold the bullet firmly for at least 10 years without cracking as a result of aging material.
Further down the case body, the hardness increase to avoid unnecessary stretching. If it is too hard, it would bring the risk of cracks. Furthest down, around the primer pocket, the brass should be firm. Here, the hardness is nearly twice that of around the neck.
The structure of the material reveals the hardness. During processing the large, soft grains are broken down into smaller ones, which makes for a harder material. At the annealing, small grains become bigger and the hardness decreases.
