Norma Tipstrike 204 Ruger ammunition delivers proven stopping power in a compact, high-velocity round built for small-game and varmint hunting. Each box contains 20 rounds of 40-grain polymer-tipped ammunition loaded in non-corrosive, reloadable boxer-primed brass casings. The Tipstrike line combines ballistic precision with controlled expansion, making it a dependable choice for hunters who demand reliability in the field.
The polymer tip serves dual purposes: it improves ballistic coefficient for flatter trajectories and controlled flight, while also initiating expansion on impact. Norma engineered a slight delay into the tip's performance, allowing the bullet to penetrate deep enough to reach vital organs before expanding. This balance between penetration and stopping power is critical in hunting scenarios where a quick, ethical harvest matters.
The bullet jacket itself is built for consistency. A tapered, quick-opening front section creates the devastating shock effect hunters need, while the reinforced rear section—locked mechanically to the lead core—maintains structural integrity through the animal, preventing premature fragmentation. This construction approach ensures the round performs predictably across varied hunting situations and distances where immediate effectiveness is essential.
Whether you're shooting varmints at distance or pursuing small game, Norma Tipstrike 204 Ruger rounds ship in convenient 20-round boxes (10 boxes per case), and the reloadable brass means handloaders can extend their investment further. Non-corrosive primers and quality brass construction keep these rounds in your rotation for seasons to come.
