In 1889 Switzerland adopted the 7,5x55 for the new Schmidt-Rubin straight pull bolt action rifle. Whereas the early versions of this unusual rifle design had a number of undesirable features which severely limited the loads that could be used the latter versions (model 1911) could utilize the full potential of the 7,5x55 at a pressure of 45.500 psi. This makes the Schmidt-Rubin cartridge equivalent to the .308 Winchester and suited to the same range of game. In spite of its name it uses .30 caliber bullets, which normally are designated 7,62mm which is the distance between the surface of the lands in the barrel, and not the diameter of a .308 in bullet, which is 7,82 mm. Oryx means good accuracy, massive mushrooming and high residual weight. This bonded design suits the all-round hunter who wishes to simplify the choice of cartridge for hunting. Thanks to its excellent performance, in a very few years Oryx has become the most popular of the Norma bullets.![]()
