Norma Bondstrike (part no. 601704041) loads a 70-grain bonded, polymer-tipped boat-tail bullet in 5.56mm/.223 Remington, built for hunters who want dependable expansion across a wide range of impact velocities. Norma bonds the jacket to the core so the bullet holds together and retains weight through both close, high-velocity hits and longer shots where velocity has dropped off, rather than over-expanding up close or failing to open at distance. The boat-tail profile also carries velocity better downrange for a flatter trajectory on longer shots. In rifle ammunition built for varmint and predator hunters who shoot at varying ranges, this is a precision option.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does bonding do for this bullet? It fuses the jacket to the core, so the bullet resists separating on impact and retains more of its weight, which improves penetration and consistency.

Why does the velocity window matter? A bonded, polymer-tipped design like Bondstrike is built to expand reliably whether the shot is close and fast or long and slower, instead of only performing well at one distance.
