Norma Oryx 6.5 Creedmoor 156-grain ammunition (part no. 20166442) loads Norma’s proven bonded hunting bullet into one of the most popular do-everything cartridges on the market. Norma bonds the jacket to the core of this 156-grain semi-spitzer soft point, a construction developed in Scandinavia for moose and other tough European big game, so the bullet expands in a controlled fashion while retaining the bulk of its weight for deep penetration. The heavy-for-caliber weight adds momentum the 6.5 Creedmoor’s typical 120 to 143-grain hunting loads do not carry. In rifle ammunition for serious big-game hunting, this is a proven European design in a modern American cartridge.
