Thread: I.D. 308 projectile please

Hoping someone can I.D. these projectiles that came to me with some 30-06 cases.

180gn, yellow polymer tip

I’m putting my money on Norma.

Made by Norma.....can't remember their name.

Norma dual core, plastic tip from the 70’s

Norma bond strike or oryx

Can’t google it as I’m driving

Thks team. Did a quick Google per above, looks most like Oryx but silver and yellow tip vs current copper and black.
Has the same blunt tip profile. The current Bond Strike is a polymer Spitzer shape tip.

Pity the box is not full lol.

I seem to remember they were pretty hard and as such were best driven magnum fast.

From a catalogue from the early eighties.

The guys here used to rave about these in the 30/06 and 308 for our big Tokoroa forest stags.
The newer ones with the copper coloured jackets were not favored the same.
I have 40 loaded for the 06 but have only shot a big hind with them. Fist sized hole through the ribs, 40 yard dead run. Nothing better or worse than the 180gr oryx

They are Norma Plastic Points. May be Dual Core. Well thought of by many Sambar hunters.

Definitely not Oryx.

Dual core for sure

My Oryx do not have a yellow tip, i love the 150g in my 270

Definitely Plastic Point

Shot a large Red hind with one of those many years ago. Close shot, roughly 50 - 60 yds. Absoloutely flattened her. DRT.
Sample of one only though.
