Default Norma Tac-22

Picked up a brick of this ammo and am curious if anybody is shooting it. I have heard good things about it and Norma is a trusted name. Any thoughts?

Immediately after my purchase inventory showed "sold out" so I guess you have to be fast and a little lucky.

Guess I was lucky, got some too. Like you I have no experience with it, and was wondering myself.

Blasted stuff with shipping cost me 15 cents a round but its the price I have to pay to buy ammo in bulk instead of the 2 boxes Academy lets you have. Getting real tired of only seeing 50 count boxes of 22lr @4.99-$5.99 a box for Agulia. Then again at least something is showing up once a week.


BTW While the number in line has been steady the faces have changed. More people are waiting at local walmarts because you can get more per visit (3 boxes versus 2 if under 300 rounds or 1 if over 300 rounds at Academy) and they are getting bulk versus 50 count boxes.

I purchased a Case of Tac 22 a few months back. The ammo is great, I usually shoot CCI Std Vel. and the Tac -22 is just as good if not better. If I had a choice both brands sitting on a shelf and same price, I would take the Tac 22. Great accuracy.

If the little .22 ammo is anything like their large caliber ammo, it will be a great buy for you.
I have never had any thing bad to say about this ammo.

Good shooting.

The last box my godson and I shot of it was heavily lubed, to the point of being slippery.
Accuracy was decent, but required more cleanup than, say, CCI MMags.
