The lead free choice for silencers and short barrels
ECOSTRIKEā¢ 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 To make the bullet lighter and prevent it from fragmenting, the lead has been replaced by copper and nickel.
ECOSTRIKEā¢ 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.

About the caliber
In 1903 the United States introduced the most powerful military cartridge in the world for use in the Springfield model 1903 rifle. Three years later some minor adjustments were made including the introduction of a lighter and more streamlined bullet and the new standard military cartridge was accordingly baptized .30-06 Springfield.
This is easily the most widespread hunting cartridge in the world although it has been pressed hard by the .308 in later years. Its case has a near optimum capacity for many bullet diameters and a large number of wildcats have been made using the .30-06 as a starting point.
With the wide range of bullets available - from 110 to 250 grains - it is an extremely flexible cartridge which has been used successfully for hunting almost every species of game in the world.
Most hunters prefer the 180 grain bullets for all-round hunting of larger game. In mountains and other places where long range shots are to be expected, however, the 150 or 165 grain bullets might be a better option. The only drawback of the .30-06 is that its recoil with the heavier loads is on the limit of what most inexperienced shooters can handle, but with handloads and lighter bullets this problem can be eliminated.
