AMMUNITION
DEDICATED TO PERFECTION
We are Norma, and to us the pursuit of perfection is an everyday commitment. An
eternal strive for a better, more precise, and more reliable shot, no matter if it’s
about hunting, competition, or training.
In the small Swedish village of Åmotfors, in a northern forest region called Värmland,
we’ve been developing and manufacturing absolutely top-notch ammunition for over
110 years. We continuously work to improve our products. At our ballistics department
alone, 200,000 shots are fired every year, all in order to further improve quality and
stay ahead of the game. Our gunsmith manufactures more than 200 rifle barrels a year
in our workshop, for extensive testing of our ammunition. It’s a never-ending endeavor
for perfection, barrel by barrel and bullet by bullet.
Our promise to you rests on all of this. Every time you squeeze the trigger, you should
feel confident the product always delivers. Your skills and high demands are what triggers
us to keep pursuing perfection.

FIVE BALLISTIC MYTHS
Nothing creates as much discussion as the field of ballistics. “What caliber should I use?”, “Which bullet
is the best for hunting a certain game?”, “How do I determine which ammunition performs the best?”.
There are many questions and often even more answers. However, here are some “old truths” that you
should at least look out for. Our ballistic leader, Mikael Karlsson, with an enormous amount of knowl-
edge in the ballistics field, answers some of the most frequent ballistics myths.
It is always better to be “on the safe side” when stability of the bullet when it hits the target. The impact energy is the

In many ways, reloading is more science than art. In its most basic
form, it’s about following step-by-step instructions, using a handful of
tools and components. As time goes by, you learn the basics and can
then expand your hobby endlessly.

ANTON BRASK, NORMA CATEGORY MANAGER CENTERFIRE RIFLE.
“Of course, hunters also load their own and this is where the demands
on powder are stiffest. Above all, its properties need to be extremely
consistent, regardless of batch. This means repeatable performance.
Our hunting bullets are also designed for maximum performance.”
“Reloading is also a hobby in itself, albeit a bit of a nerdy one. You might
compare reloaders to people who like beer and then go on to brew their
own. That way you can do it exactly the way you want it,” concludes Anton.
