foreign ammo

[Brithunter]

Hi All,

The problem is that the gun magazines have to protect their advertisers which is why you never see a bad report on a product. Telling the truth is not in the equation, selling more advertyising is big time .

As for Tater's problem with Norma, I must say that I am slightly surprised as Norma normally performs quite well in most of the rifles I ahve tried it in. OK it's not always MOA but it's certainly hunting accuracy. But then I cannot get what I would consider decent accuracy out of Winchester 30-30 150 Grn ammo from my rifle yet handloads make tiny almost one hole groups. It seems that the Winchester formular just is not compatable with my rifle and only gives 2 1/2- 3 1/2" groups

Another thing with a lot of European ammo is that they use a sintered iron jacket heavily gilding metal plated. The bullets are thus magnetic and lots of Americans relate this to being a bad thing without even trying it, then of course there are the range Nazis with their magnets claiming it to be "Armour piecing" or a fire hazard .

Next we come up against the good old :-

" if it's not made here syndrome"

So take you pick as to why Norma, RWS, Sellior & Belliot, Sako, Hirtenberg and Lapua etc are not more activly advertised through reports and more widly available.
