Norma Oryx 30 cal 165gr

Norma Oryx 30 cal 165gr bullets feature bonded soft-point construction for hunting applications. Each bullet weighs 165 grains (10.7 g) and has a nominal diameter of .308 inch. In addition, the bonded core and jacket help the bullet expand on impact while resisting separation. This design combines controlled expansion with weight retention and penetration.

Norma Oryx 30 cal 165gr Bullet Features

Norma developed the Oryx as an all-round hunting bullet. Its bonded core and jacket work together during impact, helping the bullet expand while maintaining structural integrity. As a result, the construction supports weight retention during penetration. Furthermore, this bonded design distinguishes Oryx bullets from conventional soft points with an unbonded core. Actual results depend on impact velocity, the target and other shooting conditions.

Norma Oryx 165gr Bonded Bullet Construction

The soft-point nose promotes expansion on impact, while the bonded construction helps resist separation between the core and jacket. In addition, the 165-grain weight gives reloaders a defined projectile weight when selecting components for a suitable .30-calibre cartridge. However, bullet weight alone does not determine suitability for every rifle or cartridge. Always consult current published reloading data for the exact combination.
