I've used the Norma Oryx bullets in lesser calibers to good effect.

This big boy seems like more of a good thing.

The ones I've used have held together pretty well. Some weight loss and deformation, but no separation.

Same with the 9.3?

I would appreciate hearing from folks who have used this bullet on game.

How did it do?

Thanks.

Used it on Steenbok through to Kudu and Zebra. No separations, some weight loss, lots of dead stuff.

286 Norma Oryx / H4831 / 65.0. Very deadly on driven Wild Boars.

They work well. My rifle prefers the RWS Soft Points but I have used the Oryx with no qualms again on Wild Boar

ATB,

Scrummy

The Norma Oryx factory loads are the most accurate (and hard hitting) I've tried in my CZ 550 American Kevlar. My most accurate hand load is 286 grain Nosler Partition. I bought the Norma's on sale and mainly for the brass but was hooked the first time I sent a few rounds down the range. I've not taken an animal with the Norma's but have no doubt they will work well.

Thanks, guys. They are very accurate in my Steyr. Good to hear they hold together on game.

Used it on roebuck and moose here in Norway, and Oryx, Kudu, Blue Wildebeest and Red Hartebeest in Namibia.
They are good performers.

never used that bullet in Yukon, but in Europe i took two wild boars one 120kg and another 80kg and it worked.

never recovered the bullet but game was dead.

Mt favorite projectile for NZ animals in over 100 kills never needed a second shot.Accurate in both the x62 and x64. Never found one in an animal.

we are talking 9,3x62...?

Yes, in my case. 9.3x62, although I see some above like this bullet in the 9.3x74R and 9.3x64 as well.

I find them accurate in my 9.3X62. I have not shot game with them but the 232 gr bullets were too soft - probably meant for Roe deer.

I shot 3 moose, some fallow and a few roe with the 232gr. The 232gr is a bit small for moose though it worked well. Very accurate.

Bullet failure with a 286 gr. bullet would certainly surprise me unless you were head shooting elephant or perhaps charging buffalo in which case the failure would be yours for not using a solid..

I have never had any 9.3 bullet fail. I suppose any bullet can fail if it was flawed and got by inspection. However, these days I pretty much stick to "super premium" bullets on anything of elk size on up.

They worked very well on a Newfoundland moose a couple of weeks ago. Thanks, all.

very good news Michael.
