I'm looking for advice for my first safari: what ammunition for 9.3?

[LuikoBM]

Hello everyone. First of all, please excuse my English, as I don't speak it and I use Google Translate.
I would like to congratulate everyone on this fantastic forum, where I greatly appreciate the camaraderie, courtesy, and respect.
I am preparing my first safari for 2027 and I have found a lot of very useful (and essential) information on this forum.
I decided to make the trip about four months ago and since then I have been making my lists and optimizing my equipment, as I was missing almost everything because what I had wasn't suitable.
I will probably go to Limpopo with a Spanish agency for about 8-10 days. In this area, I expect to shoot at short distances with the bush in between.
I also made my trophy lists: I started with a dozen…then five…and now three: eland, bushbuck, and warthog…and from there, I'll see how it goes.
I recently bought an R8 in .30-06 at a good price and found a used 9.3x62 barrel (which, at 100m, hits the target with 247gr KS pellets, with which I've already bagged three does and one stag on three of our hunts).
And here's the question I want to ask: what commercial ammunition do you recommend for the 9.3 for my targets?
In Spain, there isn't much choice for this caliber and large game (here, the largest is around 150-180kg), and searching online, I found RWS TUG 293gr, Norma Orix 285gr, and Nosler Trophy Grade Accubond 250gr.

All comments and opinions are welcome.

Thanks everyone.

¡Bienvenido, amigo! He tenido la suerte de disfrutar de innumerables cacerías de perdices en tu hermoso país. Para el calibre 9,3 x 62 mm Mauser, soy un gran fan del cartucho Norma Oryx de 285 granos. Te servirá de maravilla para tus tres presas.

What Hunter Habib said, maybe, I think?


I am thinking that HH is a big fan of the caliber Luiko should use the Norma Oryx 285 grain.

The rws 296 grn or the Norma 285grn

If available, Lapua makes good ammo for the 9.3x62. They have it in 250gr Naturalis and 285gr Mega.

In general I prefer the Norma Oryx bullet instead of the RWS TUG. The Oryx is the more reliable bullet.
If you can get ammunition with the Accubond, I would chose this bullet, because you will have an improved ballistic (flatter shooting).
With both bullets you will have good results.
