The Norma Oryx .300 Winchester Magnum 200gr Bonded Soft Point Ammunition (MPN: 20176762) is engineered for big-game hunting requiring deep terminal penetration and maximum weight retention. Featuring a chemically bonded jacket and lead core, the 200-grain (13.0 g) projectile delivers symmetrical mushrooming on impact without breaking apart. Factory-tested in a 660 mm (26 in) barrel, it produces a muzzle velocity of 850 m/s (2,789 fps) and 4,696 Joules (3,453 ft-lbs) of muzzle energy, maintaining 2,348 Joules of energy out to 300 metres. Each pack contains 20 factory-loaded rounds in premium reloadable brass cases fitted with non-corrosive Boxer primers.

• Chemically Bonded Soft Point: The copper jacket is fused to the lead core to ensure controlled expansion and prevent jacket-core separation through dense muscle and bone.
• High Residual Weight: Retains over 90% (up to 99%) of its original 200-grain mass upon impact, driving deep and transferring substantial hydrostatic shock.
• Centrefire Ballistics: Produces 3,774 J at 100 m, 2,997 J at 200 m, and 2,348 J at 300 m, with a factory Most Recommended Distance (MRD) zero of 168 metres.
• Reloadable Components: Loaded in high-grade Boxer-primed Norma brass cases suitable for reloading.

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

• Sambar and Red deer hunters — Requires deep penetration through heavy bone and shoulder tissue, delivered by a 200-grain bonded soft point projectile backed by 4,696 J of muzzle energy.
• Feral scrub bull and buffalo hunters — Operates effectively at standard bush ranges where a 168-metre Most Recommended Distance and high retained mass provide maximum knockdown performance on tough, thick-skinned game.
• Large feral boar hunters — Benefits from sustained penetration and energy transfer, as this .300 Win Mag hunting ammunition maintains 850 m/s at the muzzle and 2,997 J of energy at 200 metres.

Less suitable for: Extreme-range shooting beyond 400 to 500 metres due to the moderate 0.338 G1 ballistic coefficient (streamlined, high-BC polymer-tipped hunting bullets are better suited), or lightweight, thin-skinned vermin such as foxes, wild dogs, and small goats where heavy bonded construction may over-penetrate (lighter 150–165 grain rapid-expanding soft points or ballistic tips are better suited).
