Norma delivered

[iAMzehTOASTY1]

Ordered these when I was allowed outside rights to plink my days off will be hopefully consisting of loading up the slingers and heading off into the flatlands of kansas to mind my own bleeping business to find out the accuracy of these pellets

Read your outside shooting perils thread - totally sucks.

Who are Norma pellets - I've never heard of them before. Where would you rate the on the Crosman to JSB scale?

Hope those work well for you! No experience with their pellets, but their "other kind" of ammunition did very well for me back in the day.

Thanks for empathizing; Idk yet haha I believe it was @beerthief who gave me a heads up on them? I've had other Norma ammo but not pellets. They look great*will add more pics at some point.

Have you tired them??I'm so on edge to try them.....usually get pellets and try them right awayI guess.... patience is a virtue

Norma is a PB ammo company , don't remember when they started making pellets . nice looking pellets but do not fit my AA S510 Mag , might be my mag ? ordering a single shot loader now and 2 more mags .
EDIT they shoot just fine in my single shot pistol , not tested yet on range

Norma makes fantastic PB ammo so if these pellets are done with the same attention to detail, they should be winners. The wad cutter heads may not be great at anything past 10 meters, though.

Now theres 2 kinds . German made and not .. ( i think Brazil made). The getman made in a different color tin ( like a red and all that made in Germany print.. the green like are wherever made..

I recently bought a tin of the Norma dome at a local gun shop. They shot well out of my Crosman 1701p. 5 shot groups, I can keep them touching using a red dot. I’ve only shot them around 10 yards. I’ve seen them for as low as 4$ a tin. For plinking and close range pesting (being so I’ve not tried out past 10yds) I’ll shoot them.

Where would you rate the on the Crosman to JSB scale?

I'd say closer to JSB. Midway had Norma pellets on sale back a few months ago so I sampled a few different ones.

.177 dome 8.4gr
.177 dome 9.1gr
.177 wadcutter 8.2gr
.22 dome 15.9gr
.22 wadcutter 14gr

From the first two test rifles, at 30 yards all 5 pellet types produced a group that can be covered with a dime. Subsequently tested the 15.9gr in the Avenger and they were going into ~1 MoA cloverleafs at the same distance.

(The targets here are 1 inch squares with an aspirin-sized white bull.)

So a few days ago I ordered a bunch more from Norma direct. Quick test of a couple of the .177 pellets yesterday in poor wind conditions with a center hold:

Then tried the 17.6gr .22 cal domes in the Avenger. The first couple of groups at 30 yards looked uncommonly good so I turned to the 50 yard target.

For that kind of result in the wind, I'm super impressed.

How did they pack them? I see that box has 10 tins? Are they only stacked 2 high? I’m pretty much to the point of only buying from PA. Sick of tins with bent up skirts.

Box was as is; inside a box that was packed with paper
