There are 34 of the 258gr, 45 200gr Flat nose Norma, and 125+ of the 200gr "Torpedo" which I believe to be RWS manufacture that mic out to .3645. 200+ bullets for 9.3x72R loader. $150 shipped USPS to US address where legal. DM if interested.

Deer, bear and the heavier ones elk. Are all of them for the 72, or just the 200gr?
The only factory load I have ever seen for the 9.3x72R is a 193 grain. Norma did load a 193 grain bullet many years ago in the 74R.

My understanding is that a rifle chambered in 9.3x72R will most likely have a bore of .364-365 and not the .366 that you would see in a modern 9.3mm. My reference to these being suitable for the 72R was due to diameter, weight, and the low velocity of the cartridge.

If you are shooting a modern rifle in 9.3x74R like a Ruger #1 there are more suitable projectiles commonly available in the US in .366 diameter.

Thanks, it's a 1930's drilling and is regulated to the iron sights for 286gr
 
I have a few 232gr and am looking for more. Thank you for the feed back.
 
I would really like to have the copper tip 258gr if you are willing to split them. I have a rifle that shoots them well.

The 200gr torpedo bullets are almost certainly made for velocities higher than the 72r produces.
 
This lot of bullets is no longer available. Thanks to all that responded!

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
