Norma TipStrike Ammunition 308 Winchester 170 Grain Polymer Tip 20RD

Norma TipStrike .308 Winchester 170 grain polymer tip ammunition delivers a proven combination of expansion and weight retention for hunting applications. Built around a flat-base bullet with a reinforced jacket design, these rounds are engineered to expand reliably while maintaining structural integrity through bone and heavy muscle. The polymer tip contributes to consistent ballistic performance and helps initiate expansion upon impact. Each box contains 20 rounds, so you can stock up for hunting season or range testing without breaking the bank.

The TipStrike line balances terminal performance with practical hunting needs. The 170 grain weight in .308 Winchester sits in a versatile middle ground—heavy enough for deep penetration on larger game, yet manageable in recoil for most shooters. Norma's construction, which includes a mechanical lock to keep the jacket bonded to the core, is designed to reduce bullet fragmentation and maintain consistent weight retention. That matters when you need your shot to perform the same way at 100 yards as it does at 300.

Whether you're zeroing a bolt-action rifle for whitetail, elk, or hog, or building a handload database, TipStrike offers reliable performance in a widely-used caliber. Norma ammunition is manufactured by Ruag, a company with deep roots in European ammunition production, and this line reflects that heritage of precision and consistency.
