The corrected G1 and G7 are listed ten posts above this.

G7=.271
G1=.530
Excuse me as I'm new to lr. just picked up 6 boxes of 6.5CM bondstrike factory ammo on a recent trip .
On norma website BC is listed as G1 .629 and G7 .313.
i think the BC for the 6.5 bullet is the same regardless of whatever variation of load it's going in so in strelok i should actually use .530 instead as my BC correct?

I am shooting a factory tikka t3x 6.5CM with the 24 in barrel any guess as to what my fps would be?
on the box i says 2740 but I;m seeing claims it's slow? I know i should find a chrono but where I'm at is kinda rural and I don't know anyone with one. some guidance would help me get a better ballpark number before I confirm. thanks

Some one with that gun and ammo May chime in. But I have the gun and have shot other factory.

I’d start with numbers at .530 and 2650 with the tikka. Take a few shots at 300yds with a 100 yard zero and see where they land. Should be close.

thank you. interesting as they claim 2657 on the norma whitetail which is pretty much spot on your numbers. I also have 2 boxes of this but probably will just use it for practice. maybe the bondstrike is close too?

What’s everyone getting for speeds on the 300wsm norma bondstrike? Mine seems a little fast for a 22” superlite 1:11twist. I am running suppressed but still seems fast. I’m not complaining tho!

I have a 24” barrel with a brake and averaging 3045fps. 2 blacktails and a bear for 2022 from 60 to 500 yards and they have performed well.

That’s awesome. Mines not too far off. I guess I should have mentioned my speeds. Im getting 3122 fps with a 6.5” can. Haven’t killed anything yet but hopefully I will this coming season. Thank you for the terminal ballistics report.

1 question, will Norma Bondstrike Extreme 7 fit in a 7mm-08 tikka t3. I understand you can remove the bolt stop and use 3006 length mag.... this would essentially turn my 7mm-08 into a 7mm creedmoor. 165 gr .632 G1, and not have to pay Nosler prices, you have my attention. .284 bondstrike and the 155gr Terminal assent are on my radar 0.o

Not to change the subject, did anyone ever try these?


I bought some in November and killed this 8 pt , he was 80 yards quartering to and he dropped in his tracks and kicked for 5 seconds…
I was happy but haven’t seen any review on the tip strike.
