I loaded this bullet at just under 2900 fps in my 264 Win mag when I had it. My friend was getting into hunting so I lent him the rifle for a year or so before he was able to get his own rifle. He took several deer and black bear with it and recovered a bullet from the bear. It was a finishing shot that hit bone at very close range and the recovered weight was at 67% with a very wide mushroom. Great bullet.
Just got a savage 110 KYLM in 6.5 PRC. I think the Oryx bullet in this cartridge may be the ticket. To keep weight down, and to get the best low light capture I will use a swaro 2.4-12X50 with an illuminated center dot. They have a "make your own" colored ring turret system that I plan to set at 100/200/300/400 yards and I think there will be room left for my own applied dot at 500. My eyes are old and IDT I'll ever shoot anything that far....might have to go pronghorn hunting. I have 153 grain A-Tips and 130 grain CX bullets also .....but magazine length may make the Oryx a better option. Thanks for the test and review.
I have an AR 10 in 6.5-284 Norma I load the Oryx and Vulcan 156 grain exclusively for deer & Elk. I have a feeling by using the 26 inch barrel I am at or almost at the same as the 264 win mag. I suggest not being concerned over speed just load to what your rifle like for good accuracy because these bullets do not blow up on game. 21 deer have died by this 6.5-284 Norma shooting both Norma Oryx and Vulcan 156 grain bullets with no recovery of a bullet yet all have been pass throughs.
Love this bullet. Works great in my 6.5x284.
I like that you test so many Norma bullets!
I'm pretty impressed with the Norma bullets. If I can find them, I'll get them. Great video!

Keep these great videos coming! Would love to see some more CX videos
Another great video, thanks!
Good results. Thanks
Bout time you guys make another video.
I plan on hunting with the Oryx bullets
Could you post a link to your graphs, it is hard to read them on UA-cam.
I wish there were more test with the Round nose bullets out of different calibers out to 3 maybe 400 yards.
You guys should do the federal powershok
I have these bullets in 7mm08, haven't tried them out yet.
Recently discovered Norma, curious how these would perform in the 6.5PRC
I think in a cartridge like that with some more gas this would really shine.
Wery good bullet. Use that in my 6.5×55 Swedish.
Would be great if you could test Norma 156 grain Vulkan in 6.5
We will add it to the list!
Cool, I almost bought oryx bullets to try, I’ll stick with the bondstrike
I was wondering if these ever found their way to you!
Ya it took us a bit to get them in the lineup, thank you so much again!
Hell yeah. This is practically begging for the traditional 160gr RN - hornady makes one, #2640
I already sent them the norma 156gr RNSP and that was the first they tested
@@veteranironoutdoors8320 I missed that one, cheers mate!
Try the S&B 156 gr in 6.5cm
I purchased these for my .264 WM. Do you have any recommendations in terms of velocity.

Have shoot lots of moose with this bullet in the 6,5x55 swede
