Norma ammo...any good

[jimmy the foot]

saw some on sale in 30-06 and was wonderng if it is a good brand.
it was very cheap compared to federal and winchester ammo.

Very good stuff.

not to bad. if its priced well go for it. if nothing else they have some pretty decent brass most of the time.

I know of no factory-made ammo that is any better than Norma! Certainly not Winchester or Federal. Usually Norma is higher-priced than ammo made in USA!

Have to agree, great stuff. Love the Alaska or Ornyx ammo, used it in Germany and when I had my 7 x 65R I used the Norma and the price was good...... it is the Dynamite Nobel company, and they alos make the Gecco ammo which is good.... but as I said, great stuff and if I could find the Alaska ammo for cheap enough I would use it in my .30-06!

Top quality ammo For Sure.

I'll be the sour apple here if you plan on using it to reload.It is decent ammo but not any better than the big US manufacturers ammo. In my 9.3x74R double rifle the Norma brass sucks. Couple of reloads and it is toast. Substandard brass in that caliber from what I have seen. RWS brass seems to last much longer.

Very good loaded ammo and brass in my experience.

I shoot Norma 156gr "Alaska" 6.5mmSwede out of a Ruger M77 since 1994.

Guess it must be the brass for individual calibers because the 7 x 65R brass lasted for 4 to 5 or more reloads!
