Good writing and good thread.

At the moment in Europe, Oryx are available from 224 to 375cal; only the 257 is missing. Weight by caliber are not as numerous as with some other makers but enough to cover most ammunition used widely.
They have another quality in general: to be easy to load accurately and to be not finicky as some premium can be.

For people using 284 the 170grs is back after 10 years of absence and the 358 is available in 250grs weight, a really effective bullet for Whelen an ammo often used in France for driven big game hunt.

With first models of 2000 i shot game from red foxes to moose includind feral sheeps and goats using 7x65R single shot.
Except the moose that i doubled (for pure safety reason did 50meters between the two shots)all where one shot kill. Less spectaculary than Vulkan but really effective meat saver bullet.

Bonded bullets are effective but Oryx are fantastic.
And if you complain about prices in US of A, you can't imagine here...Ruag Ammotec is not on the market for playing..They are Swiss and know about money!
