When the season’s tag is on the line, choose a bullet built to finish the job. Norma ORYX .308 Win 180gr is a bonded soft point big-game load engineered for deep penetration, controlled expansion, and high weight retention—the performance trifecta for elk, moose, black bear, hogs, and mature deer. Pairing the .308’s proven accuracy with a heavy 180-grain ORYX projectile, SKU 20174732 (UPC 7393923314013) gives you confident terminal results across a wide range of impact velocities. Sold 20 rounds per box and 10 boxes per case (200 rounds), it’s a reliable choice for hunters who demand consistent point of impact and decisive terminal effects.

Why ORYX? Norma bonds the lead core to the jacket, producing a single, tough projectile that mushrooms uniformly and stays together—even through heavy shoulder, dense muscle, and quartering angles—helping ensure short tracking jobs and ethical recoveries.

Key Benefits

• Bonded Soft Point construction: Core and jacket are fused to resist separation, ensuring straight-line penetration and reliable expansion.

• Heavy 180-grain bullet: Higher sectional density (SD) drives deeper and maintains momentum on big-bodied game.

• Controlled mushrooming: Tapered jacket and soft nose deliver wide, uniform expansion across close and extended ranges.

• Norma precision components: Clean, temperature-stable propellants and premium reloadable brass produce repeatable velocity and consistent POI.

• All-weather dependability: Built to perform from frosty mornings to warm afternoon stalks without erratic velocity swings.

What Hunters Notice in the Field

• Decisive penetration with high weight retention for through-and-through performance and stronger blood trails.

• Confidence on tough angles: ORYX’s bonded design maintains integrity when shots aren’t perfectly broadside.

• Box-to-box consistency: Tight tolerances help keep your zero stable through the season.

• Manageable recoil, serious results: The .308’s balanced impulse plus a heavy, bonded bullet equals control and authority.

Ideal Game & Use Cases

• Elk & moose: Straight, deep penetration through dense muscle and heavy bone with controlled expansion.

• Black bear & hogs: Robust construction for thick hide and gristle with reliable energy transfer.

• Whitetail & mule deer: Clean mushrooms and predictable wound channels for quick, humane outcomes.

• Western timber & mixed terrain: Effective from close timber encounters to open-country shot opportunities (within ethical range).

Zeroing & Field Tips

1. Zero at 200 yards for a versatile point-blank range on deer and elk; confirm at 300–500 yards for a trustworthy dope card.

2. Chronograph your rifle: True MV tightens solver predictions and first-shot impacts at different elevations and temps.

3. Practice wind: The 180-grain weight helps, but real 10–15 mph crosswind reps matter.

4. Stability matters: Use a tripod, pack rest, or trekking poles to capitalize on the load’s inherent accuracy.

5. Mind anatomy & angles: ORYX expands reliably—pair it with thoughtful shot placement for swift, ethical results.
