Why Hunters Choose Norma Oryx in .338 Win Mag
Bonded Core for Weight Retention
The Oryx bonded soft-point mechanically fuses the lead core to the copper jacket, helping the bullet retain mass through heavy bone and thick muscle. That means straight-line penetration and dependable terminal effect at practical hunting distances.
Controlled Expansion
Engineered for mushrooming without fragmentation, Oryx maintains structural integrity while expanding to transfer energy efficiently—ideal for confident, ethical shot placement on big game.
Premium Component Consistency
Norma’s match of high-grade brass, temperature-stable propellants, and consistent primers supports uniform velocities and tight shot-to-shot dispersion—key traits when the moment of truth arrives.
Field-Proven Reliability
From alpine cold to late-season storms, Oryx is trusted by guides and veteran hunters who value reliable feeding, consistent ignition, and predictable ballistics across environments.
