Gents:

This is the bullet my father in law is planning on loading for his upcoming NM Oryx hunt in a couple of months. Is this an appropriate bullet for this class of game?

I have never shot one but my buddy carried them on a plains hunt in Africa and said they were a bit soft.
Killed everything he shot at but he thought he would go with a harder bullet on a second chance.

It sure is a good bullet for Oryx; not the best, but it'll certainly get the job done.

Having said that I've plenty of experience with a 9.3x62 for bushveld hunting in RSA (usually shorter range) and a White Sands Missle Range Oryx hunt (unsuccessful) behind me. For Namibia and New Mexico I'd go with a flat(er) shooter 'cause ranges can be long-g-g-er.

Have fun making your choice and hopefully a successful hunt.

Oryx aren't especially large animals. Mush like cow elk or there abouts.

Any bullet for the 9.3 X 62 should be adequate for the job.

Personally, I like the 250 Grain AB

I have no idea about the typical shooting range for this hunt. We will enter White Sands at the famous Trinity Gate and go from there.
