The Norma 7x64 170gr Plastic Point 20 Pack (SKU: 20170192) is factory-loaded Swedish hunting ammunition engineered for rapid energy transfer on medium to large game. Chambered in 7x64mm Brenneke, this load features an exposed polymer tip over a lead core designed to initiate violent front expansion and immediate knockdown upon impact. Its design protects the projectile tip from recoil-induced deformation inside internal box or detachable rifle magazines, ensuring reliable feeding across bolt-action and semi-automatic repeating rifles.

Key Features:

• Rapid Energy Transfer: The plastic tip drives into the lead core on contact, initiating rapid expansion and high shock delivery with 40% to 50% retained weight when striking dense bone.
• Magazine Tip Protection: The durable polymer tip eliminates recoil flattening and tip damage common to traditional exposed lead soft points.
• Optimised Ballistic Balance: Delivers high terminal stopping power across close and medium ranges, maintaining an optimal zero (Most Recommended Distance) of 168 m with a 40 mm sight height.

Who is the Norma 7x64 170gr Plastic Point 20 Pack for?

• Hunters stalking medium to large game in wooded environments — relies on a heavy 170 gr projectile carrying 3,185 J of energy at 100 m to provide immediate stopping power and rapid expansion at typical woodland distances.
• Hunters participating in driven hunts and close-to-medium range engagements — delivers 3,881 J of muzzle energy at 840 m/s, paired with a damage-resistant polymer tip that prevents feeding jams during rapid cycling in repeating rifles.

Less suitable for: Long-range hunting beyond 300 m where high-BC aerodynamic ammunition is required, or targeting heavy, thick-boned game requiring deep straight-line penetration, which is better served by bonded lead-core or monolithic copper hunting projectiles.
