Norma Oryx .30-06 Sprg 200Grn Performance

I don't know what Sako loads in their '06 and other .308 caliber ammo. I do know they loaded 270gr. Speer in their 9.3x62 ammo.
I sectioned the Norma Vulcan 232gr. 9.3 & it had a 1/16" thick jacket from just over 1/2 way to the base. IMPRESSIVE.
 
I dunno 100% what Sako load in their factory ammo, but I suspect either their HammerHead or Super-Hammerhead bullets. 2800 f/s sounds a bit optimistic for 200gn in 30-06, though. The former is a simpler construction, cup-and-core-ish. The latter is ...partially bonded IIRC. I think that both bullets can be gotten in either 200 or 220 gns.

Oryx is a fully bonded bullet like the Accubond or similar.

Was talking about buying the norma 200 grn by mistake...and yes I was slightly off as missread the norma box....2600 not 2800...
