The Norma Golden Target .300 PRC 220gr HPBT ammunition is engineered for extreme long-range target shooting and competitive precision disciplines. Loaded with a 220-grain (14.3-gram) Hollow Point Boat Tail match bullet, this factory-loaded .300 Precision Rifle Cartridge ammunition delivers a muzzle velocity of 850 m/s (2,789 fps) and a muzzle energy of 5,168 Joules from a 610 mm (24-inch) test barrel. Featuring an aerodynamic G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.575 and premium reloadable brass cases, it provides flat trajectories and high retained energy across extended engagement distances.

Key Features

• Aerodynamic Match Bullet: The 220-grain Golden Target HPBT projectile features uniform jacket concentricity and a 0.575 G1 ballistic coefficient to minimise wind drift across long distances.
• High Downrange Energy: Produces 5,168 Joules of muzzle energy ($E_0$), retaining 4,537 J at 100 metres, 3,458 J at 300 metres, and 2,227 J at 600 metres.
• Downrange Velocity: Reaches a muzzle velocity of 850 m/s ($V_0$), retaining 796 m/s at 100 metres, 696 m/s at 300 metres, and 558 m/s at 600 metres.
• Premium Reloadable Cases: Built with high-tolerance Norma brass to ensure reliable chambering and consistent case life for precision handloaders.

Who is the Norma Golden Target .300 PRC 220gr Ammunition for?

• Long-range precision target shooters — requires a heavy 220-grain projectile with an aerodynamic 0.575 G1 ballistic coefficient to maintain supersonic stability and resist wind drift beyond 1,000 metres when firing .300 PRC match ammunition.
• F-Class and benchrest match competitors — relies on consistent 850 m/s muzzle velocity and 5,168 Joules of muzzle energy from factory-loaded .300 PRC match rounds to achieve tight downrange groupings.

Less suitable for: Medium-to-large game hunters requiring controlled terminal expansion, as the match-grade HPBT bullet lacks an expanding bonded mechanism (opt instead for dedicated hunting-specific bonded or expanding bullet ammunition), or firearms not specifically chambered in .300 PRC (it is non-interchangeable with .300 Win Mag, .300 Norma Mag, or standard .30-calibre chambers).
