Cup and core 250 grain .338” bullets can be swaged down with a simple die and a typical reloading press. 30-06 brass works great for making 318 brass. I would use proper bullets from Woodleigh if I were to hunt tough animals, though. I believe Kynoch makes proper factory rounds. I wish Hornady...

I picked one up. I’ll give a range report after I try it out.

I gave New England Custom Gun a call, and they have EIGHT DIFFERENT RWS 9.3x62 LOADS IN STOCK! It is out of my price range, but they make fine ammo. I have several boxes of their last run of 10.75x68. If one is a handloader, there are some outstanding 9.3mm component bullets out there, and...

New England Custom Gun imports RWS ammo to the states. They may have some in 9.3x62, maybe get you some.

My local dealer tells me that Lipsey’s has told him that the 2020 Lipsey’s Ruger African will be chambered in 35 Whelen. I would like to see it chambered in 318 Westley Richards, but unless someone like Hornady comes out with Factory ammo, I’m sure this will never happen. I can dream, guess...

Thank you for mentioning your experience with your Lipsey’s Ruger African. Since this is one of the few appraisals I’ve heard, and it happens to be negative, I am going to consciously try to avoid confirmation bias, and wait to hear a few other experiences before I make up my mind. Thanks again.

When Ruger made a run of Hawkeye African’s several years ago, they did use a barrel contour that was identical to that of the African in 375 Ruger, and cut them to the same 23” length. However, this run of Lipsey’s 9.3x62 Africans uses the 24” thin contour found on the 275 Rigby/6.5x55 versions...

Even the very best of barrels can have difficulty shooting well when turned too thin for the bore diameter, as barrel vibrations will likely cause more erratic results than with heavier/stiffer barrels. There are different ways that gunmakers use to help tame the vibrations, such as full length...

Thank you all for your comments, and keep them coming. I love to hear about any, and all, personal experiences with your 9.3x62 rifles, even though I am well aware this rounds potential. The 9.3x62 falls into the category of “inherently accurate cartridges”. It has a bore diameter to case...

I would love to hear about how your Lipsey’s Ruger Hawkeye African 9.3x62 shoots! The 9.3x62 is a very accurate round, but I’ve held off on getting one of these particular rifles because the barrel contour seems too thin for good accuracy, and I’ve seen no full reviews of this rifle where...
