The Norma .308 Win 150gr ODIN (20-Pack) is a lead-free, monolithic copper hunting cartridge designed to match the terminal shock and expansion of traditional bonded lead projectiles. Featuring a polymer-tipped boat-tail profile with an anti-friction black coating, this ammunition achieves near-100% weight retention to deliver deep penetration and clean meat harvesting. Fired from a standard 610 mm (24 in) test barrel, the 150 gr projectile leaves the muzzle at 870 m/s (2,854 fps) and 3,673 J (2,714 ft-lb) of energy, retaining reliable expansion capabilities from 0 m out past 400 m.

Key Features

• Monolithic Copper Construction: 100% lead-free expanding bullet with a polymer tip engineered for rapid initiation, controlled cavity expansion, and near-100% weight retention without fragmenting.
• NAFT Precision Coating: Utilises Norma Anti-Friction Technology to reduce barrel heat, minimise copper fouling, and decrease internal friction across repetitive firing.
• Aerodynamic Profile: Combines a boat-tail base and polymer tip to produce a 0.419 G1 ballistic coefficient for flat trajectories and consistent downrange energy transfer.
• Optimised Expansion Window: Engineered to expand reliably across a broad velocity envelope from 0 m out to 400 m.

Who is the Norma 308 Win 150gr Odin 20 Pack for?

• Hunters in lead-restricted hunting zones — requires 100% lead-free centerfire ammunition that maintains a 0.419 G1 ballistic coefficient to deliver non-fragmenting, full-weight terminal expansion across medium-to-large game without risk of lead contamination.
• Deer and feral pig stalkers in open or bush terrain — delivers 2,854 fps muzzle velocity from a 150 gr projectile in standard .308 Winchester rifles, providing flat shooting and reliable monolithic expansion out to a 187 m recommended zero distance.

Less suitable for: Firearms not chambered in standard .308 Winchester, or hunters pursuing heavy dangerous game that exceeds the penetration capabilities of a 150 gr projectile, who require heavier bullet weights (such as 162gr or 180gr projectiles) or dedicated magnum calibres.
