Welkom hier / Welcome here

Rich I did not know that did hunt a buffalo with the 9.3X62 earlier this year. I would please like to learn form your experience. What bullet did you? If you used factory ammunition what factory ammunition did you use? Was it a hart/lung shot and what was distance. If you could please...

Hi Rich Peregrine bullets was started by Alliwyn Oberholster and the late Adriaan Rall (He passed away in August this year) Adriaan introduced me to and taught me how to reload. He was a PH and Outfitter for many years in Kenya. I owned a .416 Rem Mag and the 9.3 X 62. The reason I owned...

Thank @WAB I appreciate your comment and advice confirming what Major Khan said. I have in the mean time sold the .416 Rem mag and I am focusing on the loads and bullets in reloading the 9.3 X 62, secondly I am and learning and making sure I know where the vitals of the various species are to...

Hi @CalinRO I checked and I have used RWS "evolution in 286gr on kudu, eland and blue wildebeest. I also checked as you did on the website and they certainly put a 1 star next to buffalo and three stars next to elk and the like. I cannot comment on that. What I know is that I reload now...

Thank you @Kwashik Rhaman I appreciate you understanding where I was coming from. I just could not handle the recoil of a 400gr bullet in the .416 Rem mag whilst I have hunted many game with the 9.3 X 62 the biggest of which would be kudu, eland and blue wildebeest. You confirm what other...

Thank you @Major Khan You certainly understand what my dilemma was (I have sold the .416 Rem Mag in the meantime) I appreciate you confirming what other forum members has also advise me to do.

Thank you @fourfive8 I appreciate the article you refer to and for uploading the crux of the results of Chris Bekker's article. I am reloading and use Peregrine VRG3 in 286gr and VLR4 in 230 gr which at the time of the article was unfortunately included in the tests. I do however achieve good...

Thank you @Witold Krzyżanowski

Thank you @sgt_zim I appreciate the information you provided here.

CalinRO I have used Norma Oxry 325gr and 286 gr in my 9.3 X 62 and both rounds feed good and reliable. As mentioned I reload with Peregrine bullets 230 gr VRG3 and VLR4 and in the 286 VRG3. In my opinion these a premium bullets (I will be the first to acknowledge that my scope of experience...

Hi Hunting Sailor. You are correct it should take 90 working days. My experience is very similar to yours. my first application, with all do documents in order took 11 months. From there on it took 4 months every time I applied for a new license, which work out close to the 90 working days...

Between 3 to 4 months., since December is holiday time and Christmas I work on March 2020.

Sold, new owner in process of applying for license.

Thank AZDAVE Please will you share the test results of the 320gr Woodleigh's in the 62 with me once you have tested it I would appreciate it. Regards

Thank you Toby I use Peregrine VRG3 of VLR4 in 230gr in my 9,3 and get 2520 fps I have hunted a number of animals successful with these. I also load VRG3 in 286 gr for the 9.3 and I get 2250 fps with it. It seems the 9.3 x 62 can also be versatile like your .375 and your reply certainly...

Thank you Stuart.

Hi WAB Thank you for sharing you and your wife's experience specifically in relation to the 9.3x62 this give me direction in my decision. Regards.

Hi Red Leg Thank you for the reply and yes I agree, LvW is well experienced and I can benefit from the advice.

Hi LvW Thank you, your reply helps me in my decision making, As for the .416 with 400 gr bullets that recoil is just not for me. I have also mailed Rhino bullets and requested information on their bullets. I appreciate your help and advice. Regards

Hi LvW Thank you I had a look at Rhino bullets but never got to purchasing some as per my reply to BeeMaa I am happy with Peregrine and the help and support they gave me. Would you rather use a .416 Rem mag with 300 gr bullets at 2600 fps or a 9.3 x 62 with 286 gr bullets at 2250 fps on buffalo?

Thank you again Matt I load my 9.3 x 62 with 230 gr Peregrine VRG3 and get 2520 fps and the 286 gr I get 2250 fps, I would really like to use heavier bullets in the 9.3, but I might try the Noma 325gr just for the sake of experience.

This offers a solution and I might take it up. Thank you

Hi Paul Thank you, yes I am just honest with myself and if thus means I cannot hunt dangerous game like buffalo, well it will be sad, but I will obliged because I am responsible to myself, my family and co-hunters when we are hunting. Regards

Matt Thank you this is really helping me. I get 2600 fps from the 300 gr bullets in the .416 Rem mag and 2250 from the 286 gr bullets in the 9.3. Thank you.

Hi, thank you for the advice this is something I will look into. The 300gr bullet in 9.3 will deliver a sectional density of 0.32 vs a SD of 0.305 in 286 gr bullets. As per my reply to BeeMaa I am unsure as to the availability and affordability of US bullets in South Africa. The ZAR / US...

Thank you fir the reply, a 300 gr bullet in .375 has the same sectional density as a 286 grain bullet in 9.3.

I appreciate the reply advice but recoil of is of importance to me here. Please also see my reply to BeeMaa. Thanks

Hi BeeMaa Thank you for the welcoming me. As for more detail of the 2 rifles I give it below. I inherited both rifles. The 9.3 x 62 is a Husqvarna manufactured in 1927 in Sweden under licence from Mauser, it was bedded and free flow, it has 2 mercury recoil tubes in the butt, with a Pachmayr...

Hi, I need advice please. I can shoot a 9.3 x 62 without any problem (no problem with the recoil up to 286 grain bullets)) like wise I am comfortable with a .416 Rem mag up to 300 grain bullets (Peregrine VRG3). However I cannot handle the recoil of the400 grain bullets in the .416 Rem mag...
