Noooooorma match ammo... Any good?

#1

Post by Casswick »

So I'm looking for some 6.5 Creedmoor range and practice ammo that won't break my wallet and can at least approach the quality of Hornady Match ammo.

I took a chance and bought a case of S&B Tactical ammo, 140 grain in the green box, a few months ago for just under a $1/round. To my dismay, it turned my Ruger precision from a one MOA rifle to a 5 to 10 MOA rifle, even the crappy Winchester stuff performs better.

I've come across this for a decent price, Norma Folden Target, match grade ammo, 143gn.

Has anyone used this before? Have any feedback on the consistency and quality versus some more expensive ammo?

I'm a dealer with Norma. They have a deal going that ends today so if you are ordering by the case (or close to it), I can get you a better deal.

I haven't used that particular load, but I have used a lot of the 130gr 6.5CM (still have a bunch of it too) and I always found it to be more accurate than Hornady factory ammo, FWIW. I remember precisionrifleblog.com did a big ammo comparison awhile back and he also got good results with Norma.
