Norma Oryx .308 Winchester ammunition (brand part no. 20174732) pairs a 180-grain bonded-core bullet with proven cartridge ballistics, built for big-game hunters who need controlled expansion and reliable penetration on a single well-placed shot. Norma engineered the Oryx line as a dedicated hunting bullet, bonding the core to the jacket so it holds together through heavy muscle and bone instead of fragmenting prematurely. That construction lets the 180-grain bullet expand consistently while driving deep enough to reach vitals on quartering shots. For hunters chasing deer, elk, or similarly sized game with a .308 Winchester rifle, this load is built to finish the job in one shot.
