I am looking to reload some 9.3x63s with 250 and 286 Aframe. I can’t find any cfe 223. Are any of the Vihtavuori powders similar to cfe 223. Or do you have any other good ideas for powder. Looking to try to get a little extra velocity for a combination buff plains game hunt. Thanks
 
I’m using RL-17 and 250 grain accubond In my 9.3x62. Super accurate at 2560 fps. i know I could get more velocity out of it, but its very accurate and I think 2560 is sufficient.
 
Several more on this forum also like RL-17 for the 9.3x62, myself included. Limited experience personally, but it appears to work well with the heavier bullets as well.

I was I bit tired when I wrote this twice I wrote 9.3x63. Lol guess it is between 9.3x62 and 9.3x64. I’m sure everyone gets my intent was 9.3x62.
 
I’ve had good success with Varget and 250-grain bullets. I would recommend RL-15 and Big Game for 286-grain bullets.
 
I use RL17 in 250, 286, and 300gr bullets. Use big game with the 320 Woodleighs.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

X5i scope is perfect - thanks for an easy transaction! Buy with confidence.
Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike
