Norma 6.5-55 139gr at 2840!!

Don't they have any lawyers in Sweden?  Has anyone shot Norma ammunition?  At $32 a box it is spendy.  They have 2 bullets listed an Alaskan and a Vulcan does anyone have any info on them?  Thought this might worth having a few boxes for my Canadian whitetail trips. If these balistics are accurate the swedes load up about 300fps.  Thanks Buckfever

The extra velocity of the Norma ammo is not a significant factor in hunting whitetailed deer. If you are after moose or elk, then I would say it might be worth the extra $ only if you plan to shoot at ranges over 200 yards. If you want more punch in a factory whitetail load for the 6.5x55, IMO you would be a lot better off with Hornady's 129 grain interlock light magnum (LM) for about half the cost of the Norma.
