Norma Ecostrike Silencer
The lead free choice
For silencers and short barrels
ECOSTRIKE™ brings the latest in bullet technology into a lead-free projectile. Our copper bullet delivers deep penetration, almost 100% weight retention and a high BC. To make the bullet lighter and prevent it from fragmenting, the lead has been replaced by copper and nickel. ECOSTRIKE™ is the lead-free choice for hunting medium and large game due to its excellent ability to expand at both low and high velocities.
The Ecostrike Silencer cartridge is loaded with our popular lead free Ecostrike bullet in our dark grey cases that also helps you to keep your standard loads and Norma Silencer Series separated when the bullets are the same. The features of the Ecostrike bullet are the same as on our standard ammunition but the load is optimized for shorter barrels, 50 cm instead of CIP standard 61 cm. If you have a shorter barrel than 61 cm, you benefit from shooting Norma Silencer Series even without a silencer/suppressor. With an optimized load, you get greater speed and more effect, closer to your standard ammunition shot in standard 61 cm barrel.
