@@davidlantz4560 thank you! I can see why it never let you down. This is my first deer with a 30-06. I have an old Remington 760 pump in 30-06 and I’d love to get a deer with that next season.

@truckstoolsandtheoutdoors8258 that's what I have is a Remington pump 760 carbine 1962 model ..love it.....

@@davidlantz4560 mine isn’t the carbine. If I recall mine is mid to late 50s. It was my dad’s. I grew up a half hour from the Remington factory. It’s quite accurate and I actually like the feel of the stock better than the one on my Model 700.

@@truckstoolsandtheoutdoors8258 yes I love the feel of my too...I have shot my out to 300 yards very accurate....

@@timquigley1630 ok. They were installed on a friend’s truck two days ago. We’re in the middle of the biggest snowstorm in central NY State we’ve had in a while. He said they are performing well in the snow. I’ll get a follow up video on them as soon as I can.

@ he was okay with not putting LT tire on a 1500 pickup as well?

@ yes. It originally came with passenger rated tires. They went on a half ton. I think the Summit tires come in an XL too in some sizes.

@@ST0PM0SS good question. I’d use the Norma one to start a fire to cook with. By the time you have some coals whatever that shell holder is made of should be all gone.

@@commentbotog2025 I agree.

I get the same results out of my RAR. The Softpoint is made in Germany, and listed as a faster projectile than the Whitetail. The Soft Point (made in Germany) is by far the most accurate 150 grain round I’ve used in my RAR. Though the Swedish Whitetail is not a bad projectile by any means.

Do you have any experience with the soft point? Have you used it hunting? If so, what’s your thoughts? I’m hoping to pick up some more of it at the Great American Outdoor Show coming up. Thanks for the info.

@truckstoolsandtheoutdoors8258 yea I do . There ok for smaller deer ect. Def better options if u want an actual bonded bullet. I suggest u try federal terminal accent or if ur hunting closer range the federal fusion works great and cheaper. if u want factory loadings that's what I prefer.

@@REDNECKROOTS I bought some Terminal Ascent a couple years ago. During the ammo shortage that hit my area. It showed up at Bass Pro so I bought it as I had a cow elk hunt coming up. Didn’t get an elk but used it during deer season and I shot one doe. 55 yard shot broadside. Not much of an ammo test. Deer took one step. I have fusion on hand too. I have one of my 30-06 sighted in with that. I enjoy shooting all types of ammo.

If I have time I’m gonna try it today at the range.

I have tested some federal ammo and Norma and found Norma whitetail works best in my CVA .308 as well. Have you found anything else it liked? Have you tested other Norma rounds?

Did you try the soft points yet?

@truckstoolsandtheoutdoors8258 I was greatly surprised. The soft point was grouping at .400" at 95yrds. Went back to that same store to purchase more after I realized how much my rifle like that Norma ammunition and they didn't have one box. I'm still shopping for more now.

@@mbrewer69 that’s some great shooting! I bought the Norma softpoint from a company called Maryland Munitions last February at the Great American Outdoor Show. They have a website, maybe they have some in stock?

@truckstoolsandtheoutdoors8258 thanks for the info!

@@mbrewer69 you’re welcome

Thanks for the info. We’ve received some conflicting information on this.

@@truckstoolsandtheoutdoors8258 I was hoping they were the Oryx bullet. I have a Moose hunt coming up in September and was hoping to use these in my 308.

@@JasonBaker-q3c have you tried Federal Terminal Ascent yet? That would be a great moose bullet. Also did you watch my video where I compared this Norma round to the Norma Whitetail?

It’s the first round I’m going to shoot when I get to the range. Never tried anything from Norma. I’ll be reporting back. Thanks for the comment

i agree with you these cartridges are excellent, i do the same on my tikka t3x 308 win. just wow!

Everything I’ve heard about this bullet has been positive. I hope to get to the range soon. Great to know it’s a stout bullet. Thanks for the comment.

I still haven’t shot it yet. Maybe I can get out this weekend. Thanks for the comment.

I’ve read that about Norma brass. It seems to be high quality.

@@truckstoolsandtheoutdoors8258 Apparently the black resin cartridge holders are designed to be fire starters

Good to hear. I hope to shoot both of these this Saturday. Most deer I’ve harvested were well under 100 yards. I think I’ve harvested two over 100 yards. As for the price, you can’t go wrong. I watch ammo prices close and the price you mentioned is great. Ammo is still going up where I live and I just noticed Core Lokt is almost 28 bucks a box at Wal Mart. Where do you order from? Thanks for watching.

Nice to know it shot well compared to other ammo. Man, I love the Savage 99. I was given my great uncles about five years ago. It’s chambered in 300 Savage. Talk about expensive ammo.. I have to double check but I think it was made in 1947. I know it’s made in Utica, NY. I’ll have to do a video on it. I’ve never seen anything that shoots a 38-55. Gotta be great shooting a buck with a vintage firearm. It’s a goal of mine to take a deer with my 99. Thanks for watching.

@@truckstoolsandtheoutdoors8258 In fact, I will be leaving here to go shooting some 300 reloads in a few minutes. Thanks again.

@@danielpray9089 have fun!

Thanks for the info. I’ve been learning and reading up a lot lately on Norma. Seems like great ammo. Nice to see it for sale here now. Hope to shoot some soon. I did a video comparing it to Norma Whitetail.

Can’t go wrong with Nosler. I’ve got some Federal Premium loaded with Nosler Partions I’m going to review at some point. Shot great out of my Remington 740 .308. Wish I had a pre 64 Model 70!

Gotcha. Makes sense.

You’re welcome. Let me know how it shoots. I’m looking forward to shooting some Norma as soon as the weather breaks a little and I have some time. Thanks.

Thanks. No, it doesn’t have the address the like SP does. On the back of the box it says: NORMA PRECISION AB MADE IN SWEDEN

Normal ammunition and bullets aren't made by RWS. There is even video on TH-cam of touring the Norma plant which you can see both of these bullets being made at the Norma plant.

@@lurebenson7722 I’ll check that out. Thanks.

@@lurebenson7722 Look at the other video. Norma, RWS and Geco ammunition belong to the same company. Beretta. And earlier it was RUAG Ammotec. The Norma SP150 were made at Fürth by RWS. Its written on the box. Maybe the bullet was made in Sweden and the cartridge in Fürth.

@@Alex-gi7sm You are one in the millions of teenagers TH-cam groupie know nothing fools who write a whole lot of nonsense

I’d say the only difference is the bullet itself. I figured these would be the same bullet as the whitetail but I was told on the phone it’s the “Oryx”bullet which is a bonded bullet and via email I was told it’s a bonded bullet but they didn’t specifically say the “Oryx”. I can’t wait to shoot them. My access to the range is limited due to weather but I’ll do a follow up as to how they shoot. Curious what price they are for you.

@@truckstoolsandtheoutdoors8258 In Luxemburg they are on sale currently for 29,-€ per box. In germany - you won‘t believe it - you cannot buy them. They are not available on the german market although they are manufactured there. I believe they could be replaced by the whitetail line. RUAG, who is mentionend on these boxes, is no more the owner of RWS, Norma an Geco. Now it‘s Beretta. Looking forward to your follow up video. Best regards.

@@Alex-gi7sm thank you for the information, Alex. I like learning about this stuff and I’m looking forward to trying Norma out. And thanks for explaining RUAG. It makes sense to me now.

@@Alex-gi7sm just picked up some Norma Whitetail. I’m gonna make a video showing the difference. Definitely different projectiles.

@@truckstoolsandtheoutdoors8258 That´s great. Looking forward. We shot a few of the mentioned Norma SP 150 (not the Whitetails) into waterjugs. If the guys from Norma told you, they were bonded bullets, they must be mistaken. We could pull out the lead core easily. Nevertheless, beautiful mushrooms. I will try to upload a video showing the pictures.
