9.3x62 load

[Bob Nelson 35Whelen]

1st they take away my precious Winchester Silvertip .
Then , they take away my RWS T Mantel .
I feel so out dated .

On a more serious note , in that case ... I will recommend the 286 grain Norma Orynx soft point cartridges.

Friend Ponton
I to lament the loss of the silver tip.
I've never used it in the grand old 375 but used xxx thousands of them in a model 94 Winchester 30/30 on pigs and goats. Absolutely devastating.
Cheers my friend

I indeed miss them very much , Bob. The .375 Holland & Holland magnum calibre Winchester 300 grain Silvertip soft point cartridges were so damned effective on royal Bengal tiger and panthers , that we local Indian shikarees used to nick name them " Baagh guli " ( Tiger Bullets ) .
The .30-30 Winchester variant was just the medicine for forest panthers .

I load 63 Gr of Big Game behind a 286 North Fork and get 2505. Easy shooting and accurate!

 

[bruce moulds]

that would be a good load.

The 286 gr RWS T-Mantel is still available as a reloading component.

How many do you need?

That is very fortunate to know , HWL . I was told by another gentleman on these forums that they had been discontinued .

Just tried a load with 250 grain accubond. 62 gr of RL15 gave me 2,575 fps. Starting to think the barrel on the sauer ain't gonna let me break 2,600 fps lol. Groups were plenty good for my hunting needs, but gonna try to tighten them up a bit.

 

[Cleveland48]

Then a 5 shot group with the Norma PH 230 gr ecostrike. This factory loads clocks 2,623 fps, and I'm starting to doubt I'll be able to match thos factory load lol.

I get my best results with my CZ 550 9.3 x 62 at 100 yds:
Barnes 250 gr TSX and 60 gr of 4064.
Barnes 286 gr TSX and 53 gr of 4064.
Don't know what the mv is but I lucked out and got a cloverleaf with both the other day. My other groups were 1.5"to 2". Good enough for me for a hunter. This is my "except for buf and ele" gun. I have my King of Rifles for them.

Cleveland 48 you could always try a different powder like Varget or Hogdon CFE223.

I've trying to find varget now Bob. It is apparently dried out locally. I do have my name on some list for when it does come in, which will hopefully be soon! CFE223 has not crossed my mind though. I'll try to look up some data on it, but I have seen some locally so it is available. Honestly 2575 fps would be plenty for me in my 22" barrel, but I like to tinker. Gonna try some seating depth test and see those groups will shrink some.

Thanks for the info on the EcoStrike. Was wondering how it actually performed. What length barrel?

CFE 223 sits between Varget and H4350. I would start with your reloader 15 load and work up 1 grain at a time until you reach YOUR SAFE WORKING LOAD.
Load from a disc recommends a max of 65 grains of cfe223.

My barrel is 22" I harvested two deer and a pig with it this year. On game performance was excellent.

Thanks! The barrel on my 9.3 is 25 1/2”, I’m sure this would be a great round to try.

 

[Cleveland48]

It's worth a shot. Mine loves that load.
