Looking for data using RL15 for the 300gr oryx in 375 h&h
I'm about to start working up a load with the 300 grain Oryx for my 375H&H using RL15 as well. What did you come up with in the end?Looking for data using RL15 for the 300gr oryx in 375 h&h
Can you elaborate on this? You do not recommend the Norma Oryx? For what and why?A lot of posts in here of late for the Norma Orxy bullet. I do not recommend it. Stick with what works. Barnes, Swift, etc.
I had bad luck with the Oryx bullet on my Kyrgyzstan Ibex hunt. The first shot was through his huge neck and it did not expand. I saw him through the scope shaking his head a bit like a sheep choking on feed but he was not hurt from that good shot. The neck on those goats is massive and should have easily opened the bullet up. A miss then a good hit on the third shot put him down. I was shooting a .300 RUM at the time.Can you elaborate on this?

I am mostly using Barnes now.
Yep. Just stood there. After we got him down he just had a pencil sized hole right through the middle of the neck! I won’t be using Norma again.Shot through the neck with a 300 RUM and the animal wasn't hurt?
