Oryx 11.7 g is suitable if you are looking for a single hunting cartridge with a jacket-bonded core for hunting moose, red deer and wild boar with a .30-06 Springfield rifle. For a heavier option with the same bullet construction, consider Oryx 13.0 g. Norma Odin 10.5 g in the same calibre is a suitable lead-free alternative. Our recommendation If you are switching from your current .30-06 hunting cartridge to the 11.7 g Oryx, bring a target shot with your previous load to the range. Compare the centre and spread of the groups at the same distance. Even cartridges with the same bullet weight may hit different points when fired from your firearm. Before the season, check the point of impact with the same optic and firearm setup you use for hunting. If you alternate between the 11.7 g and 13.0 g Oryx, record the test-firing result for each, along with the bullet weight and test distance. Keeping the box label helps you find the same version when buying a new box. Norma's velocity and energy figures provide a basis for comparing loads. Assess your firearm's point of impact and group spread using a group shot at the range.
