just a stab here but i think they are their old oryx bullets.
I have some of their older factory stuff with the same looking bullets in them.
and thats what they called them.they look like old cupro nickel rounds.
but were designed as a hunting round,they seemed to perform like the rem corelokts.

I don't think those are the old Oryx, Mike said they're full metal jacket boat-tails. I think I recall seeing some a few years ago and they looked about 1-1/2" long and very slippery ballisticly. I think they were made for the 6.5 Swede for match shooting. Jackets might be plated steel.

[mike in co]

well not quite 1.5,,,,1.28

they may be plated steel....guess i will have to destroy one to find out(i'll scratch off some boat tail material)

thats what the jacket on the oryx looked like also, except they had a bit of lead exposed to the nose.
those look like extremely high b.c. bullets.
love to try some of them.

That bullet I posted there is a nickel/steel jacket made for snipers. The reason that composition was because it left no copper fouling in the bore.

from norma's tech guy:

Dear Mike,


The bullet you have is for competition use and is nickel coated steel jacket bullets.

They are now discontinued in our production line but we have 130 gr HPBT types instead,
