375 H&H Norma Oryx

[Papabear55]

Anyone have experience with these bullets at 300gr?

 

[R.M.C.]

I have some and never used them on anything so I'm curious too. I believe them to be a pretty good soft bullet

Yes, that’s all I use. Killed every thing that I shot. An excellent product.

The .375 H&H & The Norma Oryx

Simply mention Africa - whilst sitting among those who hold hunting as a passion and devotion - and images of wild, uninhabited places, filled with the largest mammals on dry land, images of thirst and danger, images of a place where a rifle is relied upon to both procure meat and for personal...

He calls it the most underrated bullet on the planet.

I have used 250gr Oryx in my 358 Norma Mag on black bear and moose. No tracking required! Awesome bullet.

The 170's are excellent in a .275.

From my reading on the Norma Oryx, I understand that they are an engineered, bonded bullet. I have not tried them in my .375, but I am tempted to buy a box or two. I believe that Midway has .375 Norma Oryx available. Link: Norma .375 Oryx

I bought some of them a while back but the Swift A-Frames and Barnes TSX grouped better for me. If the Norma Oryx had grouped better, I was confident they would do the job.

I have not used that bullet in a .375, but I think its's a good idea. I have used them in 285 gr. in the 9.3x62 and 9.3x74R to take a variety of game, at a variety of distances/impact velocity with perfect satisfaction. Quick opening, wide mushrooming, and deep penetration with very very good weight retention around 90%. The sectional density of a 285gr. 9.3 is identical to the 300 gr. .375, so I think there is good reason to think they would perform comparably.
They are my current favourite hunting bullet in several rifles and cartridges, not only my 9.3's. I have used the Oryx bullet in a variety of rifles / cartridges to take Giraffe, Kudu, and Gemsbok in Namibia, and Canadian Elk, Moose, Whitetail deer, Mule deer, Black bear, and German Wild boar. Never a problem of any sort.

It is the first load I worked up for my new 375H&H.
It is shooting sub 1” groups at 100 yards and had excellent performance in Namibia on everything from Eland to Springbok.

@MAdcox - That is a beautiful Mountain Zebra. It shares many of the Grévy's Zebra characteristics.
