Available Bullets

The Whitetail Country line features two standout bullets: the Solid Base and the Straight-Wall. The Solid Base bullet, known best for its precision and terminal performance, incorporates a fifth-generation tapered jacket and a heavy solid base to deliver deep penetration and optimal expansion. Its boat-tail design and aerodynamic profile promise superior accuracy and wind resistance, making it a perfomance-driven choice for deer hunters.

Nosler’s Straight-Wall bullet is tailored for the slower impact velocities typical of straight-wall cartridges. It boasts a flat base, a thin jacket at the tip, and a lead nose to ensure reliable expansion, even at extended ranges. The truncated nose design allows for smooth feeding across various action types, while the form-fitted lead core enhances stability and accuracy. This cutting-edge design mirrors the stopping power of standard bottleneck rifle cartridges while being fully compliant with straight-wall cartridge regulations. Whitetail Country ammunition sets a new standard in deer hunting, providing unparalleled terminal performance and reliable expansion to kill deer quick. This new line represents both a nod to tradition and a leap forward in precision and power, ensuring every shot counts.

Behind the Bullet: The .308 Norma Magnum

Norma’s ballistician Nils Kvale saw the wisdom of having the velocity and horsepower of the .300 H&H Magnum, but in a shorter, more affordable receiver, and used the H&H case to develop his .358 Norma Magnum in 1959 as well as the .308 Norma Magnum one year later. The .308 Norma Magnum closely resembles the wildcat .30-338 cartridge, though the shoulder of the former is located a bit more toward the base than that of the .308 Norma Magnum. Intrigued?
