Norma’s Tipstrike .30-06 Springfield load (brand part no. 20174342) centers on a 170-grain polymer-tip bullet, purpose-built for medium and large game hunters who need controlled expansion on demand. Norma designed the Tipstrike as a dedicated hunting projectile, pairing a flat base with a polymer tip that initiates expansion the instant it contacts game. That controlled expansion drives deep penetration without excessive fragmentation, giving hunters the quick, ethical harvest a well-placed shot should deliver. For deer and elk-sized game taken with a .30-06, this load is built around a single job: put the animal down fast.
