Cutting-edge, extreme long-range hunting ammunition featuring a bonded core design, blue polymer tip, and advanced boat-tail architecture for devastating terminal performance at any distance.
Product Overview
Norma BondStrike .308 Winchester 180-grain Bonded Tip ammunition is engineered specifically to bridge the gap between match-grade accuracy and extreme-range hunting lethality. The BondStrike projectile combines a proprietary bonded core with a sleek, aerodynamic profile and a blue polymer tip designed to initiate rapid, devastating expansion at close range while maintaining reliable performance even at lower velocities far downrange.
Leaving the muzzle at 2,575 fps and generating 2,648 ft-lbs of energy, this load features an optimized ballistic coefficient to minimize wind drift. Each box contains 20 rounds of premium, reloadable brass cases featuring non-corrosive Boxer primers.
