Oryx - A bonded classic in many calibers
Since its introduction in 1996, the ORYX has become the spearhead of the Norma range. It has been praised worldwide for its performance. So what makes the ORYX bullet so unique? Well, a combination of rapid expansion for killing shots and high residual weight and deep action for the more demanding shots.
ORYX is a so-called bonded bullet, which means that the jacket and core are soldered together. The bullet opens quickly, but the soldering prevents separation of the jacket and core, which leads to residual weights of over 90 percent. This contributes greatly to the bullet achieving the deep and straight penetration for which it has become famous.
