Norma 6.5 x 55 130g Golden Target (50)

Norma, Precision Match Grade Golden Target

Contrary to common belief the 6,5×55 was not developed by Mauser, but was constructed by a joint Norwegian and Swedish military commission and introduced as the standard military cartridge in both countries in 1894. It has proven itself an extremely effective all-round cartridge ever since. More than a hundred years after its introduction it is still the standard round for competition shooting and one of the most popular hunting cartridges in all the three Scandinavian countries. Having downed a dozen moose, more than 50 caribou and three times as many roe deer with the 6,5×55 it remains my all time favorite choice for mixed European hunting.
