Thread: Norma Bondstrike

I really like these guys’ tests, they are very consistent with the methodology and it’s one of the best ways to see a realistic comparison between different bullets’ expansion performance. Yes they are using water to catch the bullets and all the blah blah arguments that go around which medium is most representative of game. At least they’re using the same one in the same way every time.

The Norma Oryx was good, but this Norma Bondstrike is even better. An average of 2.8x calibre expansion from 100-500 yards from the .300 Win Mag. The flight and energy numbers are really something when you look at this bullet in the ballistic calculator. When it was released Norma was pretty confident it was going to lift the standard and I would say they were probably correct.

Would love to poke a few big reds with these out of the .300 WSM.
