Norma Golden Target .300 Winchester Magnum 220gr HPBT factory ammunition is engineered for long-range precision rifle shooting, benchrest disciplines, and competitive target sports. Loaded with a heavy 220-grain (14.3 g) Hollow Point Boat Tail match bullet, this cartridge achieves a muzzle velocity of 830 m/s (2,723 fps) and a muzzle energy of 4,909 J (3,621 ft-lbs) from a 660 mm test barrel. The projectile features a high 0.575 G1 ballistic coefficient and a 0.331 sectional density, maintaining supersonic velocity beyond 1,000 yards (~914 m) for consistent external ballistics and reduced wind deflection at extended distances.

Key Features

• High-BC Match Projectile: Loaded with a 220-grain Hollow Point Boat Tail bullet with a 0.575 G1 ballistic coefficient designed to resist wind drift and maintain stability across transonic transitions.
• Consistent Muzzle Velocity: Delivers a factory-rated muzzle velocity of 830 m/s using temperature-stable propellants and match-grade Boxer primers for tight velocity standard deviations.
• Premium Reloadable Components: Built with factory-new Norma brass cases engineered for uniform internal volume, consistent neck tension, and multiple reloading cycles.
• Extended Supersonic Range: Retains approximately 1,393 fps velocity and 948 ft-lbs energy at 1,000 yards, ensuring aerodynamic stability for targets from 300 metres to past 1,000 metres.

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

• Long-range precision rifle competitors — requires a 0.575 G1 ballistic coefficient projectile that maintains an 830 m/s muzzle velocity and remains supersonic past 1,000 yards to minimise wind drift during timed match stages using .300 Winchester Magnum match ammunition.
• Benchrest target shooters — relies on heavy 220-grain match-grade HPBT projectiles seated in uniform factory brass to achieve low velocity spreads and tight group consistency at distances from 300 m to beyond 1,000 m.

Less suitable for: Big-game hunting applications requiring controlled terminal expansion, as the open match hollow point does not expand reliably on game; a hunting-specific cartridge with bonded or expanding hunting projectiles is recommended instead.
