Placed an order for this great round combination from Norma a while back. Notified recently that Norma are allegedly discontinuing the production of the round by their RUAG UK agent. No distribution has been made to UK agents over the past three years.

This is an awesome lead-free round! Yes Norma has their 'own lead-free product'. I personally don't hand load.

Any ideas where these could be sourced please (Europe/N. America)?

Thanks,

SC

Factory Barnes loaded ammo shoots very well in my 375 H&H MRC. If you can locate it. 5/8-1” in 3 round groups at different times, different days, different temps consistently.
It averages 2,529 fps. Pretty fast for a factory load.
 
Norma has been scaling back a lot on many of the larger caliber and "Safari" offerings. I noticed that pretty much all of the African PH line is on clearance and listed as discontinued most places I buy. Loaded 375 and 416 are still in current production however but they look to be changing up the product lines quite a bit.
 
Thank you all for the links. I'll follow them up. Have always had a preference with Norma with Swift A-Frame and Barnes TSX.

No issues with Sako / Hornady...

Much appreciated,

SC
