.308 win Norma 150gr oryx?

[poco]

I bought a flat of Norma 308win 150gr oyrx on sale ( they were discontinued) $200 for the flat
will these work on kudu, water buck , nyala? Or are they on the light side ?
I tested them on some deer & aoudad but had complete pass through so couldn't get an answer if core separation is a concern.
I will have my 375Ruger, or could take my .270win with barns 130gr ttsx instead for the PG or buy some more ammo in 180gr oryx

There are other bullets that would be my first choice but I’d have no concerns using them. I used the outfitters 308 with local PMP ammo for eland, kudu, nyala, warthog, etc on one safari. No issues.

Core separation is pretty much impossible with those Oryx bullets. They expand widely, usually to 2x caliber. So penetration is not as deep as some others, but shocking power is excellent. If you’ve been getting exits on deer sized game, what’s not to like? I like Oryx bullets for most of my hunting, they are reliable, accurate, and deadly. You need to decide for yourself, but I’d use the 150 gr. .308 Oryx for the species you’ve described, with full confidence.

Well my first choice would be 180g oryx, then 165g, then 150g
