Already called around. Can't find any retailers with the Norma Oryx 285 grain ammo.

Anyone have a box or two they'd part with?

If so contact me at rkmojo@aol.com

or phone me 281-773-7987

Best regards,

Rusty

Right you are Charles! I even considered flying to Dallas today and getting a couple of boxes. I would have driven over to Buda, but they didn't have any.

I just wanted some to practice with before I hunt with them. I have since ordered 2 boxes of Norma Oryx and 1 box of Hornady from Midway. With shipping having to go ground it will just take longer than I wanted.

I just used the last of mine on a 3 day deer hunt. I found the bullets a little soft. I shot a nice 10 point at 80 yards. In and out in a straight line top of the heart both lungs and the edge of the liver on the way out.I thought he was more square to me when I shot. What worries me is what happened to the 65 lb doe I took at 90 yards. She was dead square to me when I shot, the round hit at the top of the heart and exited behind the last rib. 1/2 dollar sie hole at entrance and a fist size hole at exit. There was a soft ball size glop of intestine and stomach hanging out. My son in law would not take a photo it was to gross he said. I lost 1/2 of the ribcage. I don't know if I would trust them on elk or plains game. It may have hit something on the way in but I did not see it do so.

Sorry -- I did not know how soon you needed them. I probably have a box or box and a half but it is up here and would not help any.
