The Norma Oryx 7mm Remington Magnum 170gr ammunition delivers high weight retention and deep terminal penetration for medium-to-large game hunting. Built with a bonded core-to-jacket construction, the projectile features a thinner forward jacket with internal splitting zones to initiate rapid expansion, combined with a thicker rear jacket that prevents fragmentation. Tested out of a 660 mm (26 in) barrel, this factory load achieves a muzzle velocity of 880 m/s (2,887 fps) and a muzzle energy of 4,259 J, retaining 90% to 99% of its residual weight through heavy bone and dense muscle tissue.

Key Features

• Bonded Core Construction: Fuses the lead core to the jacket to retain up to 90–99% bullet weight on impact, preventing breakup while delivering consistent hydraulic shock.
• Controlled Expansion Jacket: Engineered with internal splitting zones in the thin front jacket for rapid mushrooming, supported by a heavy rear jacket wall for deep straight-line penetration.
• High-Energy Downrange Ballistics: Produces 3,398 J of energy at 100 m, 2,680 J at 200 m, and 2,087 J at 300 m to maintain lethal terminal force at extended hunting distances.
• Premium Reloadable Components: Loaded in high-grade brass casings with non-corrosive Boxer primers for uniform ignition and multi-cycle reloading.

Who is the Norma 7mm Rem Mag 170gr Oryx for?

• Sambar, Red, and Rusa deer hunters — Requires deep bone-breaking penetration through heavy tissue, which this 7mm Rem Mag hunting ammunition provides via a heavy 170 grains bonded soft-point bullet that leaves the muzzle at 880 m/s and retains 2,680 J of kinetic energy at 200 m.
• Feral boar and feral camel hunters — Demands high bullet integrity against dense muscle and tough hide, utilising this 7mm Rem Mag hunting ammunition zeroed for a 173 metres Most Recommended Distance to ensure maximum tissue disruption without projectile breakup.

Less suitable for: Extreme-distance hunting exceeding 400 to 500 metres where a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.324 exhibits greater wind drift; high-BC, polymer-tipped boat-tail hunting ammunition fits long-range shooting past these distances better.
