9.3 x 62 and the 320 grain Weldcore

[sgt_zim]

What I forgot to mention I have a 9,3 x 62 and using the above 285/6 Oryx/A-Frames.
I also have a 74R and did not want to duplicate the 62mm load. Was thinking of a 250gr, but most my hunting is at short range. 50-150m. The reason for the Q about the 320gr

is your 74R a single or double? If it's a double, I'd load up whatever regulated best with it.

the further out you can set the bullets, the more powder you can stuff in.

Can't remember if it was Mule Deer or somebody else over there, but they set their COAL to where teh cartridge will just fit in the magazine. Couple of those guys use 65 gr of Big Game for the 286 gr bullets.

Was pointed out to me that the "ca" velocities in these load tables?

... stands for Calculated.

Are you guys crimping the heavier bullets for the 9.3x62? If so, what crimping method/tool is used and have you checked against not-crimped to see if it actually does anything?

I'll be doing load development (with RL-17) for the 286 gr A-Frame and possibly the 300 grain A-Frame bullets fairly soon.

I load the 258gr hammer bullet with a crimp from the seating die. Due to the low bearing surface of this bullet they generally respond well to crimping. For the nosler partition and swift a-frame, unless you want to be married to a short OAL, I recommend a Lee FCD

So, all the 9.3mm RN Weldcore's that weren't on backorder at MidwayUSA came in.

... and the backordered 230 gr.'s did not.

Maybe a special run bullet.

how does the 9,3x74r compare to the 9.4x62 round

they're generally ballistic twins.

There should be no shortages of Woodleigh in the US. There is a few hundred thousand sitting on a ship waiting to be unloaded according to Sandra @ Woodleigh.

Everything in stock except 286 PPSN and 320 RN

The 74R does enjoy a capacity advantage of 8 or 9 grs, but yeah for the most part not much difference.

I'm really only interested in the 320 gr. I already have NAB 250, NP 286, and Oryx 285, not to mention Hornady 286.

@sgt zim
Dang even with the current exchange rates you get them cheaper than we do in Australia.
Bob

 

[sgt_zim]

dang bud, what are they charging you over there? Guarantee part of the extra cost is the (I'm guessing) higher taxes/regulations down there than we have. Which is hard to fathom.

@sgt zim
For 35 cal they are $70 AUD for 50
for 30 cal my mate Greg picked up 300 130gn PPSP for$100AUD. The same as the states the price varies depending on caliber. At least we don't have supply problems with them but the smallest they make is .264 cal. I wish they would make some nice 25 cals.

[sgt_zim]

those are some pretty good prices. that works out to 50 USD for a box of .358 bullets.

9.3 bullets are about $63 USD

But your pricing shows $49.18/50 box

Old sale or current discount?

Looks like that was a 1 day sale, and they still weren't (and aren't) in stock. New price as of yesterday is $64, "out of stock, backorder OK"
