Let’s Hope This Helps Solve The Shortage of .22LR Ammo

November 20, 2013 by 4 Comments



I got a press release today from Norma-USA. They are the American distributors for Swedish ammo maker Norma. The release announced that they would be importing a new brand of .22 LR ammo for sale in the US.

As anyone who has gone into their local Walmart knows, .22 LR ammo is scare to nonexistent on the shelves. Norma is well-known for making fantastic ammo and I expect this .22 LR ammo to be no exception. With a MSRP of $4.99, Norma-USA TAC-22 is also reasonably priced for what it is.

Let’s hope this helps to ease the shortage of .22 LR on dealer’s shelves. It is available by mail order from both Grafs and Midway USA.

Coming To America

April 4, 2012 by

No, not the Eddie Murphy movie but the Swedish ammo maker Norma. The company has a well-deserved reputation for making some of the best ammo to be found. Because I have a love for Swedish Mausers in 6.5×55, I stumbled across their brass a number of years ago. It’s not cheap but very, very good stuff.

From their release:

NORMA USA OPENS US WAREHOUSE FOR DISTRIBUTION

American Market Poised for New Norma Products Specifically Designed for the American Sportsman

March 2012 – Norma, the Swedish manufacturer of superior hunting and target ammunition launched Norma USA in the US market earlier in 2012. Norma USA will be exhibiting at the 2012 National Rifle Association Meetings and Exhibits in St. Louis, Missouri on April 13 through 14 at booth 205 and revealing several new lines of components and ammunition. The new lines of performance ammunition and precision made components are shipping from the new Norma USA warehouse and distribution facility to major US retailers.
