I have a partial box of Norma 7.7 Jap. 180 sp bt. The bullet heads are a nickel color. I was thinking they may be reloads because of this. Does anyone know for sure if this is the correct type of bullet that Norma loads in this caliber. Thanks

Those are not reloads. That is the standard color of the Norma bullets used in their ammo. I would be more then happy to take them off your hands for you. lol.

Norma is pretty good ammo... and the brass is reloadable too. Tuna's correct, those sound like standard Norma bullets. I have some Norma 7.7x58 loaded with 180 gr bullets, and some loaded with 174 gr bullets (174 gr is the standard bullet weight for Japanese Type 99 rounds)

Thanks for the reply fellas. That is all the Jap ammo I have. Ill probably just keep it to go along with my Jap rifle. I just wanted to make sure they are not reloads.
