Norma 6.5mm (.264) 156gr Oryx Bullets – 100 ct box

These Norma 156gr Oryx Bullets are heavy, bonded 6.5mm projectiles built for big game, and a 100 count box of Norma 156gr Oryx Bullets gives 6.5 handloaders plenty of deep penetrating bullets for serious hunting loads. Made by Norma, the Oryx is famous for good accuracy, massive mushrooming, and high residual weight. If you load a 6.5mm rifle for larger game, these bonded bullets are built for the task.

What These Norma 156gr Oryx Bullets Are and Who They Are For

The Oryx is a bonded hunting bullet that combines a soft point with a thick jacket for controlled expansion and deep penetration. At 156 grains in 6.5mm, or .264 caliber, these are among the heaviest 6.5 hunting bullets, ideal for driving deep on larger game where lighter 6.5 bullets can run out of penetration. These projectiles are for the 6.5 handloader who wants a heavy, bonded bullet for big game rather than a light varmint pill.

Because the box holds 100 bullets, these Norma 156gr Oryx Bullets give you volume for load development and a full hunting season.

Key Features of These Bullets

• Bonded soft point construction for controlled, massive mushrooming.

Specifications Worth Knowing

Each box holds 100 bullets in 6.5mm, .264 caliber, at 156 grains. The Oryx line has become one of the most popular Norma bullets because it expands widely while retaining a high percentage of its weight, a combination that big game hunters value. At this heavy weight, sectional density is excellent, which supports the deep penetration these bullets are known for. These are component projectiles for reloading, not loaded ammunition, so you supply the brass, primers, and powder.

Practical Use, Care, and Compatibility

Confirm your barrel twist stabilizes a 156 grain 6.5 bullet, then seat to fit your chamber and magazine and work up a load from published 6.5mm data. Their bonded build makes these Norma 156gr Oryx Bullets a strong choice for cartridges like the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5×55, and 6.5 PRC on larger game. Match them with the right brass and dies from our Apparel and Gear collection.

Heavy for Caliber 6.5 Performance

Light 6.5 bullets get most of the attention, but for larger game the heavy pills like this 156 grain Oryx are where the caliber really shines. The extra weight brings excellent sectional density, which translates into the deep, straight line penetration that puts big animals down decisively.

Paired with the Oryx bonded construction, that weight retention gives you a bullet that expands wide and still drives to the vitals.

Load Development and Long Term Value

First confirm that your barrel’s twist rate will stabilize a bullet this heavy, since not every 6.5 will. Then seat to fit your chamber and work up from published data, testing seating depth to find your best group.

With one hundred bullets in the box, you have plenty for thorough load development and a full season of hunting, which makes this a genuine value for the serious 6.5 handloader.

Ordering, Care, and Value

Check your box of one hundred bullets when it arrives and store the projectiles in a clean, dry spot so they stay pristine. Component bullets keep indefinitely in dry storage, and a hundred count gives you generous room for load development plus a full hunting supply. Buying bullets in this quantity lowers your cost per round while letting you pair a heavy bonded 6.5 projectile with the exact charge and brass your rifle prefers. For the 6.5 hunter chasing larger game, that is a genuine value.

For the 6.5 big game handloader, these Norma 156gr Oryx Bullets are a heavy, dependable performer. Ships direct to your door, no FFL required.
