Anyone know what bullet this is?

Gone

I'm going to toss a wild guess and say that Norma used that style cannalure.

 

[blargon]

Woodleigh?

I have some older 150gr 30cal Norma bullets that look identical (minus the diameter difference of course)

 

[kman300]

Thanks for the ideas so far. The norma bullet that looks like that is the alaska and norma doesn't make a 7mm version. Pretty sure it's not a woodleigh either as they don't make a 7mm ~150gr bullet.

 

[bcsteve]

Norma would be my guess as well.

 

[sgt.rock]

might be a discontinued version of a Norma bullet.

I had some 150 gr. 7mm bullets years ago that look the same if I remember right. They were in a plain white bullet box with Norma Svenska stamp on them.

The norma bullet that looks like that is the alaska and norma doesn't make a 7mm version.

I have several hundred Norma Alaska 7mm bullets squirreled away, but they're all 175 gr, with no cannelure.

I also have a couple of boxes of Sako brand in 175 gr, ( don't know who actually made them for Sako) that appear identical to those except for the weight. They came boxed in 50's, in a clear plastic bag inside the box.

I have both 7mm and .308 Woodleghs, and neither have a cannelure. I'll bet they're made by PMP Musgrave from South Africa. At one time, that stuff was pretty common in Winnipeg guns stores.

Norma, that's their trademark cannelure, as kamlooky said.

 

[kman300]

PMP Sounds like a good guess. I sent Norma a picture and they say it's not their bullet.

 

[BigUglyMan]

Is the colour accurate? They have a very bronze colour in the photos. I would have guessed Norma as well as they look similar to the old RN Normas that Ted gave me. Nice looking bullet though.

 

[kamlooky]

I you get tired of lookying at them, send them this way.
I'll burn them up in the Husqvarna.

 

[kman300]

They are definitely more "yellowish" than a normal copper bullet. Will shoot them up in my 7x57 for plinking.

 

[c-fbmi]

RWS also uses the straight cut cannelure..............all the RWS I've seen are cupro-nickel jackets, so can't say for sure.

 

[kman300]

Ah, and just to add, they are magnetic. Found that out by accident just now. Perhaps that helps with identification.

150 grain SP. Load for the bullet weight. Who made 'em doesn't matter.

 

[bcsteve]

Lapua also have hunting bullets with that type of cannelure as well.

I'm not worried about reloading data. I'm curious what brand of bullet it is.
