The Oryx is close to 40" :-)
I handload for the 8x68S.
The bullet I used in RZA was 220gr Woodleigh PP, loaded to 2850Fps.
Very nice trophy, indeed!
I would say the 8x68 is equal to the American 300 Weatherby Magnum /8 mm Remington Magnum
Woodleigh PP bullets are fine; actually it's a pity that there is no Woodleigh 220 grain bullet PP for 30 cal.
It would be a good competition/alternative to 220 gr Nosler Partition.
Maral, did you recover the bullet?
