Norma ORYX – 6.5 Creedmoor – 156 Grain Bonded Soft Point – 20 Rounds/Box, 10 Boxes/Case (20166442) – UPC 7393923324548
Serious big-game performance meets the 6.5 Creedmoor. Norma ORYX 6.5 Creedmoor 156gr is a bonded soft point hunting load engineered for deep penetration, reliable expansion, and high weight retention across a wide velocity window. This heavy-for-caliber 156-grain projectile turns the famously accurate 6.5 CM into a confident choice for large deer, hogs, black bear, elk, and moose at ethical distances. Packed 20 rounds per box and 10 boxes per case (200 rounds), SKU 20166442 (UPC 7393923324548) is the premium hunting ammo you bring when the tag on your lanyard really matters.
Why ORYX? Norma bonds the core to the jacket for controlled, uniform expansion and straight-line penetration—even through heavy bone and dense muscle—so you get reliable terminal performance and short tracking jobs.
Key Benefits
Bonded soft point design: Jacket and lead core are fused to minimize separation and maintain mass on impact.
Heavy 156-grain bullet: Increases sectional density for deeper penetration and decisive energy transfer on larger game.
Controlled expansion: Tapered jacket and soft nose open reliably across broad impact speeds for confident wound channels.
Creedmoor accuracy, hunting toughness: Match-grade consistency from Norma paired with proven terminal performance in the field.
All-weather dependability: Clean, temperature-stable propellants and premium brass for smooth feeding and repeatable velocity.
What Hunters Notice in the Field
Straight-line penetration with reliable mushrooming—excellent for quartering shots when angles aren’t perfect.
High weight retention that helps the bullet punch through heavy shoulder and exit for strong blood trails.
Consistent point of impact box to box, so your zero and dope stay true through the season.
Confidence at ethical ranges: The 156gr profile carries momentum downrange while the bonded construction keeps the bullet intact.
Ideal Game & Use Cases
Large deer & hogs: Anchoring penetration with broad expansion for fast, humane results.
Black bear & elk: Robust construction handles bone and mass without over-fragmentation.
Moose (where legal & within ethical distance): Heavy, bonded design supports reliable penetration on big-bodied animals.
Western & woodland hunts: From timber to open basins—pair with good glass and a solid rest.

Zeroing & Field Tips
Confirm zero at 100 or 200 yards and validate at intermediate distances (300–500) to build a trustworthy dope card.
Know your impact window: The bonded ORYX holds together at closer, higher-velocity impacts while still opening reliably as speed tapers down.
Choose a solid rest: A bipod, trekking poles, or a shooting rail helps you capitalize on the load’s inherent accuracy.
Mind the wind: The 156-grain weight helps, but practice your holds; confirm with live-fire, not just a calculator.
