Best Uses

Zero with this box and practice at the ranges where you expect to shoot. The Oryx is a soft point, so it opens reliably even at lower speed, and the bond keeps it from coming apart up close. That makes it a good pick for thick cover, driven hunts and quartering shots on big animals. It will drop more than a high-BC tipped bullet at long range, so keep shots reasonable. Norma Oryx 30-06 180 grain is a tough, simple load for heavy game.
