The Norma Oryx .300 Norma Magnum 200gr Bonded Soft Point ammunition is engineered for hunting heavy-bodied big game at standard-to-medium ranges. Designed to deliver deep penetration and rapid energy transfer, the 200-grain (13.0-gram) bonded bullet chemically fuses its copper jacket to the lead core, preventing core-jacket separation and retaining up to 99% of its residual weight. Tested from a 610 mm (24-inch) barrel, this factory load generates a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s (2,953 fps) and a muzzle energy of 5,265 Joules (3,872 ft-lbs), making it capable of handling large game across distances out to 300 metres.

Key Features

• Chemical Core Bonding: Fuses the lead core to the copper jacket to virtually eliminate separation on impact and provide high weight retention up to 99%.
• Controlled Expansion: Features a thinner forward jacket with internal splitting zones for immediate mushrooming, backed by a thicker rear wall to ensure straight, deep penetration through heavy tissue and bone.
• High Muzzle Energy: Produces 5,265 Joules (3,872 ft-lbs) of kinetic energy at the muzzle, maintaining 2,646 Joules (2,074 ft-lbs) at 300 metres.
• Premium Reloadable Brass: Loaded into high-grade, Boxer-primed Norma brass cases suitable for reloading.

Who is the Norma 300 Norma Mag 200gr Oryx for?

• Sambar and red deer hunters — Requires substantial terminal knockdown power, which this .300 Norma Magnum ammunition provides by delivering 5,265 Joules of muzzle energy and maintaining 3,370 Joules at 200 metres with a heavy 200-grain bonded projectile.
• Large feral game hunters — Operates within standard hunting envelopes out to 300 metres, where this .300 Norma Magnum load maintains a velocity of 638 m/s with a 0.338 G1 ballistic coefficient to ensure reliable soft-point expansion on thick-skinned game.

Less suitable for: Ultra-long-range hunting past 400 to 500 metres, where a more streamlined, high-BC polymer-tipped hunting projectile is better suited; or any firearms not specifically chambered in .300 Norma Magnum.
