    Decent price on Norma 223

    Strictly given current ammo prices this ones pretty decent. Shot a bunch of Norma 223 in the past and it is good stuff. I bought a bunch. Free shipping on orders over $150
    IMO it's a VG price worth posting. No limit either.

    I have shot a bunch of that stuff, still have some left over from the before times.

    Very accurate, great brass to reload, love the stuff.

    .36/round back then, .48 now, go for it.

    I bought a bunch of Norma .223 "match" ammo loaded with 77gr SMKs, and in my White Oak it shoots lights out — better than FGMM with 69gr SMKs.

    I guess they're not loading SMKs anymore?

    I have bought two cases of their 9mm 124 ball range ammo for just over $300 a case. Very reasonable prices in this environment, and it is good ammo. Haven't reloaded the brass yet but being Norma I don't anticipate any issues.

    Also snatched up some 6.5-284 at a steal.

    They still have the free shipping deal for orders over $150, but I think they charge your state's sales tax. I will add that you get a 10% off code to use one time if you sign up for their newsletter right now.

    Their prices aren't great, but I think you will have a hard time doing better currently.

    I think the 55gr FMJ 223 Norma "Tactical" is relabeled XM193 (even with the same circular crimp on the primers) even though the headstamp says "norma"; I don't think it's the higher quality stuff from years ago.

    I don't think so. The batch we got a while back is more accurate than m193.

    I’ve never shot Norma 223, but we did shoot a couple boxes of 308 whitetail while sighting in and plinking a couple months back.
    It was very accurate. Local academy had it for around $23 a box

    It looks like what I said above was wrong. I just received some and the primer crimps are not the circular crimp that others have reported recently and most of us associate with Winchester XM193. What I received has the 3 stake primer crimp, so it is not relabeled Winchester XM193.

    Also, the boxes I received say "3241" fps velocity instead of "3240" on the box in the picture on their website. I doubt that 1 fps makes a difference, but it's probably a way to differentiate it from a different production run/batch? My lot number says "2021-21" if anyone is curious.

    I also noticed that their current website picture shows 20 round boxes, instead of the 30 round boxes that they are currently selling.

    I don't reload, so I can't speak to the quality of the brass or anything else like that. But I thought some people here would want to know this.
