Norma Bondstrike 6mm XC 105gr Ammo

The Norma Bondstrike 6mm XC 105gr load (Norma part no. 20160492) is built for long-range shooters running one of the more purpose-built 6mm cartridges on the market. The 6mm XC, short for "across the course," started as a wildcat built from a modified .250 Savage case to optimize match competition shooting, and it has since become a commercially loaded favorite for long-range target work and hunting alike. Norma’s Bondstrike bullet is built to bridge both worlds, holding match-grade accuracy while still expanding reliably enough for game. It is a strong choice for shooters who want one rifle cartridge that can do double duty on paper and in the field.
