Norma Oryx 7mm 156gr

Norma Oryx 7mm 156gr bullets combine bonded construction with controlled expansion for hunting applications. In addition, each 156-grain (10.1 g) projectile measures .284 inches in diameter and has a published G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.33. Consequently, this design combines high weight retention with deep penetration.

Norma Oryx 7mm 156gr

Norma uses a bonded soft-point design to help the Oryx bullet expand without breaking apart. As a result, the projectile combines expansion with high residual weight. Furthermore, Norma developed this all-round hunting design for hunters who need reliable penetration across different hunting conditions. In particular, the bonded construction helps the core and jacket remain together during impact.

Oryx 7mm Bullet Construction and Expansion

The Oryx combines a soft nose with a bonded core and jacket. Therefore, the bullet can expand on impact while retaining much of its mass. Moreover, Norma reports residual weights of up to 99% for some Oryx calibres under standard hunting conditions. However, actual weight retention and penetration depend on the specific calibre, impact velocity and target.

7mm Oryx Bullet Selection and Reloading

Before selecting this projectile, check that its diameter and weight suit your intended cartridge and rifle. In addition, consult current manufacturer load data for the exact cartridge and bullet combination. For this reason, never transfer powder-charge data between cartridges solely because they share a bullet diameter or weight.
