One of my fellow trap shooters asked me what I knew of Norma shotshells.

I said little to nothing. Matter if fact didn't know they made them.

Anyone here have any experience with Norma shotshells?
Norma actually make these? Or rebranded?


Thx
 
Does Norma even sell ammunition in North America? I know a fair amount about shotshells and I think that 90%+ of European shotshell manufacturers use Cheddite hulls, which are straight wall (Riffenhauser) hulls with separate base wads. Not really the best design. It is likely that this is what Norma is offering.The exception is B&P (Italian company) that uses a proprietary hull design. I may be ignorant of other, less well known European manufacturers.

Perhaps...

When things got stupidly unavailable there for a couple years I had to use some different stuff..

B&P
Nobel sport and so on...

That said Nobel sport primers #688 are a direct interchange of Winchester primers.
 
There is a Norma-ammunition site/store and the have dealers all over the country. One of them advertises a lot on another forum, his company is RavenRocksPrecision, not sure if he carries shells but he does carry norma ammo

I've never had a tough time finding their metallic...
Shotshells though...

Never seen them until the other day
 
They used to have some really good deals on some ammo in the covid time when they first launched NormaUSA
I'd order with a welcome discount code, 3 weeks later they send you a come back 10% off, like clock work every 2 or 3 week....yess I kept ordering hahaha
The shotshells probably started about the time they became part of the Beretta group, I've not tried them
