I have a couple of packets of Norma Oryx im trying in my 9,3x62 how good are these projectiles on game i have read and seen pictures of there performance and they look great how are they on buffalo lion leopard

There is no 265 gr Norma Oryx loading.

There is a 232 gr Norma Oryx @ 2625 f/s-not a good idea for African game.

Then there is a 285 gr Norma Oryx @ 2362 f/s-that is a very good idea for African game.

The there is a 325 gr Norma Oryx @ 2198 f/s-that is a excellent choice for Cape buffalo.

I would use the 285 gr loading for all plains game and lion and the 325 gr on Cape Buffalo.

Just make sure that wherever you intend hunting buffalo with it that it meets the minimum calibre requirement.

The 9.3 x 62 and 9.3 x 74R are excellent African calibres and do their best work with heavy for calibre bullets with high sectional density at moderate velocities.

Superb calibre for Africa.

I agree with IvW.
For dangerous game I am using cartridges 9,3x62 from RWS with bullet TUG BRENNEKE 293gr ( 19g ).
