Help Please...9.3x62 Makes No Sense

[Rare Breed]

I am using QL to help me with my first reloads for my new 9.3X62. QL says using Ram Shot Big Game powder I can have 65 grains and have a 96.2% fill rate producing 2529 FPS. The case length is correct at 1.19 inches. The problem is 65 grains overflows the case!!!!! I want to use the Speer 270 grain Hot Cor for my leopard hunt but with the above am having problems.

Can someone help me please?

Thanks!

My bad...bullet length is 1.19 inches. case length checks out though in QL. Also Big Game powder is so fine my powder trickler will not work...what do you use please?

Case length is 2.44.

I believe 65grs is way over max, re-check your data.

56 grains might make sense.

I use 60.2 grains of Big Game with slight compression. I’m not sure what it chronographs, but it is what my rifle likes for accuracy.

I use 63 gr of Big Game with a 286 North Fork for 2505 out of a 25” barrel. It is very slightly compressed. I use standard OAL. I would not put more in with that bullet. Your Speer should be shorter than the NF so use that information as you will advisedly.

And this in Lapua brass.

Back off on the powder; no reason to go beyond 62-63 grams to achieve around 2400 fps. It still kills Leopards dead.
