Norma Oryx .22-250 Remington 55-grain ammunition (part no. 20157342) brings Norma’s bonded-bullet construction to a fast, flat-shooting varmint and predator cartridge. Norma bonds the jacket to the core of this 55-grain bullet, so it holds together and controls expansion instead of the explosive fragmentation typical of dedicated varmint bullets at .22-250 velocities. That makes it a useful option for predator hunters who want a pelt-friendlier result or who occasionally take slightly larger game with the same rifle. In rifle ammunition for varmint and predator hunting, this is a more controlled alternative to typical high-velocity fragmenting loads.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .22-250 Remington, one of the fastest, flattest-shooting varmint cartridges available.
• The bullet weighs 55 grains, a standard weight for the caliber.
• The construction is bonded, fusing the jacket to the core so the bullet resists violent fragmentation at high velocity.
• That controlled construction gives more predictable performance than typical explosive varmint bullets, useful for predator and varmint hunting alike.
• The cases are brass, and each box holds 20 rounds, shipped 10 boxes to the case.
• Cost runs about $1.86 per round for a bonded, purpose-built hunting bullet.
• This load is built for bolt-action varmint and predator rifles chambered in .22-250 Remington.
• The bonded construction commands a modest premium over standard varmint bullets, reflected in the per-round cost.
• The 55-grain weight matches the most common bullet weight loaded for the caliber, keeping trajectory familiar for shooters switching from standard loads.
