Here is a real gem from YouTube. Field Sports Britain (I didn't get much US programming in Germany) is a great show and this episode took them to the Norma ammunition plant in Sweden. The host goes into the factory and gives you an eye opening perspective on how ammunition is made, and to the exacting standards the employees craft their product. Even better is that they do a few tests on gel blocks to show the capabilities and limitations of ballistic tipped and soft point ammo. They even take it a step further and show a bit of Red Stag stalking in the highlands of Scotland. Having seen this, I understand why Norma ammo is sold at a premium, but can certainly see the benefit of having round after round perform exactly how it should. If you've got your computer hooked up to a TV, you may want to give this a view. It's 40 minutes long, but better than watching the evening news! Waidmannsheil from South Korea
