I received 80x 9,3x62 factory rounds from a person in SA yesterday that he got from someone who bought them 4 years ago with a new Steyr Mannlicher. Never fired a shot and gave the rifle to the SAPS for destruction…

Can anyone recognise the headstamp, a single “T” and 9,3x62.

Also any idea what bullets these are? They look a lot like NPs likely 286gr.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

T Munitionsfabrik Thun, Thun, Switzerland, also seen on Norma Ammo, but likely made by Thun.

T oy Tikkakoski AB in Finland and Tula Armory is Russia also used the T headstamp but I believe both factories are closed, and they produced military ammo.

I guess I’ll have to pull a bullet and cut it in half to see what it is. Lots of conflicting information on the net between Norma, Thun and RUAG making these. Hardly any info on the projectiles used.

Do you mind me asking what auction you are referencing? I'm not in the market for any of those rifles...just curious.

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,

Gents, if you book and pay your deposit before the end of this year , you can have the bigger cull package for the 2026 price! https://www.africahunting.com/threa...griffiths-safaris-starting-at-us-2-560.96285/
