The Norma Jaktmatch .222 Remington 55gr FMJ (50 Pack) is factory-loaded rifle ammunition engineered for target training, rifle zeroing, and small-game harvesting. Featuring a 55-grain (3.6-gram) Full Metal Jacket semi-spitzer projectile, this load leaves the muzzle at 940 m/s (3,084 fps) and produces 1,590 J of muzzle energy from a 610 mm test barrel. Designed to replicate the flight characteristics and trajectory of premium hunting loads, it allows shooters to maintain a consistent point of impact between practice sessions and field applications without adjusting optic settings.

Key Features

• Hunting Load Trajectory Match: Ballistically matched to standard hunting ammunition, allowing seamless transition from target practice to field shooting without optic re-zeroing.
• Pelt and Meat Preservation: Non-expanding FMJ bullet design ensures minimal pelt damage and prevents meat destruction on small game and fur-bearers.
• Reloadable Swedish Brass: Boxer-primed, premium virgin brass cases manufactured in Åmotfors, Sweden, engineered for multiple reloading cycles.
• Calculated Range Data: Features a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.209, maintaining 791 m/s and 1,126 J at 100 m, with a Most Recommended Distance (MRD) zero of 174 m.

Who is the Norma Jaktmatch .222 Rem 55gr FMJ for?

• Target shooters zeroing .222 Remington rifles — Requires an identical ballistic profile to hunting rounds, utilising a muzzle velocity of 940 m/s and a 0.209 G1 ballistic coefficient in this .222 Remington FMJ hunting ammunition to practice and verify optics out to 300 metres without shifting the rifle's zero.
• Small game and pelt hunters preserving fur and meat — Needs non-expanding .222 Remington FMJ hunting ammunition loaded with a 55-grain projectile that delivers clean penetration without explosive fragmentation, minimising damage when harvesting foxes, feral cats, and edible small game.

Less suitable for: Medium to large game hunting, such as deer, feral pigs, and goats, where non-expanding FMJ bullets fail to provide adequate terminal expansion; shooters targeting larger species require expanding soft-point or polymer-tipped hunting ammunition. It is also incompatible with firearms chambered in .223 Remington or 5.56x45mm NATO.
