The Norma Oryx 308 Winchester 180-grain ammunition delivers exceptional terminal performance for big game hunting with its bonded bullet construction and controlled expansion design. This premium hunting cartridge combines Norma's renowned powder consistency with the proven Oryx bullet technology for reliable penetration and energy transfer on medium to large game.

What Makes This Different

The Oryx bullet features a bonded core design that prevents jacket separation during impact, maintaining weight retention of 85-95% even on heavy bone contact. Unlike standard cup-and-core bullets that may fragment, the Oryx construction ensures deep, straight-line penetration with controlled mushrooming. The polymer tip initiates rapid expansion while the thick jacket base maintains structural integrity through tough hide and bone.

Key Features

  • Bonded bullet construction prevents core-jacket separation for maximum weight retention
  • 180-grain bullet weight optimized for 308 Winchester ballistics and energy delivery
  • Polymer tip design ensures consistent expansion at various impact velocities
  • Premium brass cases with consistent neck tension and powder charges
  • Muzzle velocity of approximately 2,650 fps with 2,808 ft-lbs of energy
  • 20 rounds per box packaging for hunting applications
  • Swedish manufacturing with strict quality control standards
Field performance shows the Oryx bullet maintaining its mushroomed profile while penetrating 18-24 inches in ballistic gelatin, making it effective on elk, moose, and other large North American game. The 180-grain weight provides excellent sectional density for the 308 Winchester cartridge, balancing flat trajectory with terminal energy retention at extended ranges. Weather-sealed primers and consistent powder charges ensure reliable ignition in temperature extremes from -40°F to 140°F.
