The Norma .300 Norma Magnum 230gr Berger Hybrid Target ammunition is engineered for extreme long-range precision and match competition. Loaded with a 230-grain Berger Hybrid Hollow Point Boat Tail (HPBT) projectile into premium, Boxer-primed reloadable brass, this cartridge pairs high aerodynamic efficiency with consistent ignition. It achieves a factory-tested muzzle velocity of 910 m/s (2,986 fps) from a 660 mm (26 in) barrel, retaining supersonic flight well past 1,000 metres for flat trajectories and minimal wind drift at extended distances.

Key Features

• Berger Hybrid Projectile: Combines tangent and secant ogive profiles to maximise aerodynamic efficiency and reduce seating depth jump sensitivity.
• High Ballistic Coefficient: Features a G1 BC of 0.743 and a G7 BC of 0.367 to minimise wind deflection across long distances.
• Consistent Downrange Velocity: Maintains velocities of 867 m/s at 100 m, 826 m/s at 200 m, and 786 m/s at 300 m.
• Match-Grade Brass: Built with tight-tolerance, Boxer-primed Norma brass cases and clean-burning, temperature-stable powder.
• Pack Size: Supplied in boxes of 20 rounds.

Who is the Norma .300 Norma Magnum 230gr Berger 20 Pack for?

• Extreme Long Range (ELR) Target Shooters — Delivers a high G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.743 to maintain supersonic stability beyond 1,000 metres and reduce wind drift at extreme target distances.
• F-Class Match Competitors — Utilises a 230-grain Berger Hybrid bullet leaving the muzzle at 910 m/s to provide consistent external ballistics and tight elevation groupings in precision target competitions.
• Extended-Range Hunters — Retains 786 m/s of velocity at 300 metres to deliver massive downrange kinetic energy when engaging large game across wide open terrain.

Less suitable for: Shooting at standard or short distances under 300 to 400 metres, where standard .30-calibre cartridges (such as .308 Winchester or .300 Winchester Magnum) offer lower recoil, reduced barrel wear, and greater cost efficiency; and short-range hunting where dedicated expanding hunting rounds with bonded or controlled-expansion bullets are required for reliable terminal performance.
