<csj>Norma Bullets
Has anyone out there tried the new Norma bullets? I am just curious what the weight retention is.

<jthessen>csj,
I have an article about premium bullets and the only Norma bullet tested is the Orynx, shot in paper from various distances.
Other bullets include Failsafe, TBBC, Swift, Woodleigh Nostler partition.
I have zero experience with this bullet, but the writer comments "Good bonding of the lead core, jacket a bit soft, leeds to less penetration than Barnes x , failsafe , swift, TBBC
Weight ret varied from 84-92% mv 2750 ft/sek distance to paper 22-220 yards
I would take this with a bit of salt due to the fact of the test medium.
