The Norma Oryx .22-250 Remington 55gr Bonded Soft Point ammunition delivers controlled expansion and high weight retention for medium-range hunting and feral pest management. Engineered with a chemically bonded lead core and copper jacket, this factory load eliminates jacket separation on impact while maintaining a muzzle velocity of 3,609 fps (1,100 m/s) and generating 1,590 ft-lbs (2,178 J) of muzzle energy from a standard 24-inch test barrel. Packaged in boxes of 20, the boxer-primed brass cases are fully reloadable and non-corrosive.

Key Features

• Chemically Bonded Bullet: Fuses the lead core to the copper jacket to ensure deep penetration and typical weight retention exceeding 90 percent.
• Controlled Expansion: Utilises internal jacket splitting zones at the nose for reliable mushrooming, supported by a thicker rear jacket wall.
• Flat Trajectory: Factory-rated Most Recommended Distance (MRD) zero of 196 metres provides flat-shooting performance out to 300–400 yards.
• Reloadable Components: Built with premium Boxer-primed Norma brass cases suited for multiple reloading cycles.

Who is the Norma 22-250 Rem 55gr Oryx for?

• Feral pest controllers — requires high-velocity flat trajectories to consistently neutralise wild dogs and foxes at field ranges up to 300 yards, driven by a 3,609 fps muzzle velocity in a 55 grains .22-250 Remington cartridge.
• Light-to-medium game hunters — requires controlled terminal expansion and high weight retention on game such as feral goats and fallow deer, utilising this centrefire rifle ammunition's bonded 55 grains soft-point projectile with a 0.185 G1 ballistic coefficient.

Less suitable for: Target engagement beyond 300 to 400 yards where the 0.185 G1 ballistic coefficient sheds velocity rapidly (use a high-BC, boat-tail polymer-tipped cartridge instead), or hunting heavy game such as Sambar deer and large feral boars (use larger centrefire calibres such as .270 Winchester, .308 Winchester, or .30-06 Springfield).
