Premium bonded all-round
Since the introduction of ORYX in 1996, we have been the industry benchmark in bonded bullets. With a combination of rapid expansion, high residual weight and deep penetration, ORYX is the number one all-round hunting bullet. When hitting the target, it expands quickly without fragmenting or breaking apart. Thanks to the unique bonding technology, ORYX offers residual weights up to 99% in some calibers on standard hunting ranges.
For more than 25 years, ORYX has proven to be an exceptionally good all-round bullet. With its controlled expansion and high residual weight, it is suitable for all types of hunting and is available in our widest range of calibers.
Oryx is the first bullet to take place in this new, optimized series of hunting bullets.

About the caliber
6 XC is a 6mm cartridge initially developed by modifying a .250 Savage case to optimize for match competition shooting. The 6 XC stands for "across the course" and was initially a wildcat caliber, but is now commercially available and a popular choice around the world for long range target shooting and hunting.
