Thread: oryx projectiles

I am using 156gr Oryx in my 7x64, only shot one deer with it so far and that was a large Red Hind that my mate had wounded, punched through both shoulders and exited and put her down on the spot.

Not much to go on but reports from Africa seem to indicate that they are very tough.

Accuracy is very good in my rifle.

To be honest though, I would be more inclined to go heavier and slower for scrub cattle, short distances (I would imagine) so ballistics is not an issue, but you would want the penetration of a slower heavier bullet with a high SD like a 175gr swift A-Frame or Nosler Partition.
