Norma Oryx 30cal 180gr

Norma Oryx 30cal 180gr bullets feature bonded soft-point construction for controlled expansion and deep penetration during hunting. Each projectile weighs 180 grains (approximately 11.66 g) and measures .308 inches in diameter. In addition, the bonded design helps the bullet retain its structural integrity on impact. Consequently, it suits hunters seeking a versatile projectile for suitable .30-calibre rifle cartridges.

Norma Oryx 30cal 180gr Bullets

Norma developed the Oryx as an all-round hunting bullet with a bonded core and jacket. As a result, the bullet expands on impact while resisting fragmentation and core separation. Furthermore, the bonding process helps the projectile retain weight during penetration. Actual results depend on impact velocity, the target and the conditions of the shot.

Norma Oryx 180 Grain Bonded Bullet Construction

The Oryx combines a soft point with a bonded core and jacket. Therefore, the bullet can expand while maintaining structural integrity. Moreover, Norma reports residual weights of up to 99% for some Oryx calibres under standard hunting conditions. However, this figure is not a guaranteed residual weight for every calibre or impact.

The bonded construction distinguishes the Oryx from conventional bullets with an unbonded core. In addition, hunters should select the correct bullet weight and diameter for the intended cartridge.
