9.3 Sisk

[Glenn Slaven]

I said I was done buying guns for a while until I got some stuff paid off. But then...my curiosity got to me and I made one too many phone calls and found the second 9.3 Sisk that Charlie had made was for sale. The price was right and came with does, a bunch of brass, and bullets. Still need to get rings to mount a scope and take it out to play. It’s going to get a new, more traditional bolt handle and a new stock eventually. This is the picture the previous owner sent me (I don’t do leather work).

Big bonus for me was that he already had loads worked up for it, so that should save me some time and money.

Agree on the tacti-cool bolt handle! I believe the 9.3 Sisk is the 8RM necked up to .366 the 350 mag necked up is the 9.3 BS if memory serves me.

Correct. I’m a sucker for 9.3 anything.

Never heard if it...what does it compare to the 9.3x62 or 64?

The data I have for it, shows it shooting 2700-2800 FPS for 286 grain and almost 3k for 250 grainers. Not sure why I felt like I needed to buy it, but it is a 9.3

That’s what she said

IIRC, the 9.3 Sisk is on the 350RM case.

The 9.3 Barnes-Sisk is on the .350 RM, the 9.3 Sisk is on the 8mm RM.

 

[metricman]

The 9.3 Barnes-Sisk is on the .350 RM, the 9.3 Sisk is on the 8mm RM.

that is my understanding as well

 

[bruce moulds]

I'm new to the 9.3X62mm caliber, thanks to Tradex in Canada. I bought a 1958 mfg Husqvarna 1600, put a 3-9 Leopold on it, and for the first time in my life got an exact bullseye on target at 100 meters. I then shot 3 more with less than 1" moa. Shooting PRVI 286 bullets with fairly stout RL15 load. I am very impressed, wish I had known about this mid bore earlier.
