Great prices on Norma Bullets at Raven Rocks!

[Lobber]

I recently picked up some Norma Tipstrike bullets from Raven Rocks Precision. Fantastic price, quick ship and great quality. Bullets were pictured on the site with cannelure, but was pleased that they did not actually have the cannelure (7mm 160gr Tipstrike)

Sorry, forgot to post photos. These are the 7mm 160gr Tipshock bullets that I received.

I couldn't find any reload data on them that wasn't with Norma powders, emailed Norma asking for load data for any or all of maybe 4
powders I had that should work and they told me to use their website which pretty much only lists Norma powders.
That said I ordered a few calibers to try with some shorter barreled non magnums. Norma makes good bullets and I'm hoping to get lots of expansion at modest velocity for some brush guns

I personally wouldn't hesitate to use published data for similar 160gr bullet designs in your cartridge. Published data tends to err on the side of caution anyway, so it's not like the bullet would be different enough to cause issues, especially on the low end of the data. Like anything, start on the low end and cautiously proceed until pressure signs show up.

Thanks. I think I'll order a couple boxes, price is excellent.

figure I'll find a similar shape and close weight, it's the 170gr 30cal. don't think I have anything near that shape and weight that I'm loading currently

Going to try them in a 7-08 with 6.5 StaBall and a 7WSM.

Look at the data for the 168 Hornady AMAX or ELDM. think you'd be good there for
Powder and start point.

I have shot these through a 270WSM (not tipped) they are really good
