Assuming the rifle shot well with something else before trying the norma? If it's shot better before, try different ammo.

Some rifles just don't like some ammo. Check the obvious stuff like loose bases/rings/etc and then try something else.

In my experience, VERY few rifles are inaccurate with ammo they like. Some are picky, but just about all of them shoot something very well.

I have a BLR in 7mm08 and it was accurate with the 140 core lokt. I started loading for it a few years ago and the sierra gameking 140 just as accurate as the Remmys .

I have a BAR Safari in .308…. Because of the short barrel it hates anything over 165gr. I’d step down to 140gr and see what you get.

I have a BAR 300 Win Mag and it prefers 150 gr. Winchester soft points. Very accurate for a semi-auto rifle.
