$37.53
The Norma Oryx 308 Win 180gr rifle ammunition is built for hunters who demand both precision and terminal performance from a centerfire cartridge. Loaded to 2610 fps muzzle velocity with a muzzle energy of 2723 ft-lbs, these rounds deliver the kind of downrange authority and consistency that matter when you're after medium to larger game. Each box contains 20 rounds of brass-cased ammunition engineered around Norma's bonded bullet construction—designed to hold together through impact while expanding reliably in the field.
What sets the Oryx line apart is the balance between expansion and weight retention. The 180-grain projectile is tuned to expand rapidly upon impact for effective energy transfer, yet maintains substantial mass post-expansion for deep penetration. That combination matters whether you're hunting from a stand at moderate range or taking longer shots across open country. The consistent performance round to round makes it a dependable choice for hunters who've zeroed their rifle and trust their load.
This is practical, field-proven ammunition—no hype, just honest ballistics and terminal design. Norma's brass-cased platform and bonded bullets have earned respect in hunting camps across North America, and the 308 Winchester remains one of the most versatile centerfire calibers in use today. Whether you're running a bolt gun, semi-auto, or lever action, the Oryx 308 delivers the kind of accuracy and stopping power that turns careful fieldcraft into successful hunts.
