Interesting to answer questions based on Europe hunting.. especially long range starts at 200M...

You could use my solution, a phony email address, as in my favorite “biteme@aol.com”

If you get junk, you can always uninstall their e-mails.
Interesting 'test'.

The only Norma ammo I have was for my .308Norma Mag - it did well on pigs at 200yards.
Yellow plastic tip jobs if I remember correctly.
There brass is excellent, extremely long lasting; just anneal the neck & shoulder & you're off again.

The yellow plastic tipped bullets I've seen in 8mm, loaded by my buddy for his 8x68S were the Dual Core and worked perfectly on moose.
I did load and try some 286gr. yellow plastic tipped Normas in the 9.3x62, but only for a load testing. They shot just fine and into an inch at 100 meters in my old 9.3x62 Oberndorf Mauser.
I loaded up the 286gr. Alaskan RN for my bro in his 9.3x57. I think he's going for moose with it in November. He has his hold settings for out to 300 meters. Considering he's unlikely to have to shoot past 100 meters, he's good to go in any event.

Norma bullets are certainly amazing, but here are some that you may find to be every bit as good:

I have tried (original) 250gr. Barnes spitzers in the old 9.3x62. I may need a bit more tweaking on the load, but they should be just fine. They are currently running into 1 1/2", which is OK, since my hunting nowadays is quite restricted to deer (if I get out hunting, that is).
