The Norma Oryx 22-250 Remington delivers exceptional terminal performance for medium game hunting with its bonded bullet construction and 55-grain weight. This premium hunting ammunition combines Swedish precision manufacturing with proven field performance across diverse hunting conditions.
What Makes This Different
The Oryx bullet features a bonded core design that maintains 95% weight retention upon impact, significantly outperforming conventional cup-and-core bullets that typically retain only 60-70% of their original weight. The controlled expansion creates a mushroom diameter nearly twice the original bullet size while the bonded construction prevents core separation. This design delivers deeper penetration and more consistent wound channels compared to standard hunting bullets.
Key Features
- Bonded bullet construction maintains 95% weight retention for maximum penetration
- 55-grain bullet weight optimized for flat trajectory and energy transfer
- Controlled expansion creates consistent wound channels on medium game
- Premium brass cases allow multiple reloading cycles
- Muzzle velocity of approximately 3,680 fps from 24-inch barrel
- Boat-tail design improves ballistic coefficient and long-range accuracy
- Temperature-stable powder maintains consistent performance in varying conditions
Field testing demonstrates this ammunition's effectiveness on deer-sized game at ranges extending beyond 300 yards. The 22-250 Remington cartridge delivers flat trajectory with minimal wind drift, making it suitable for open-country hunting where longer shots are common. The bonded Oryx bullet construction ensures reliable expansion even at lower impact velocities encountered at extended ranges.
