Norma 9.3x62

[Gringocazador]

I'm like someone posted above, wish I would have discovered 9.3 earlier in my gun building life. I am in the process of putting one together on a Dumoulin Mauser action. Need to get my barrel on order, will try to do that today. Years back a buddy of mine bought a Husky Mauser in 9.3x62, it was neat old gun. He said I could walk across Africa with this. At first the round didn't do anything for me, but once the 9.3 light went off, it was like why don't I have one.

dave,
there was a little article on the rifle in 6mmbr daily bulletin with a picture of how the barrels change, the recoil lug, and the barrel nut.

john taylor said he would walk across africa with a 22 rimfire, but i thing a 9.3 would make you feel a little better.

@bruce moulds thank you for the reference, I checked it out. I wonder how long before savage or one of the aftermarket companies have the steel insert available.

@Bob Nelson 35Whelen the whelen barrel has no maufacture on it and is marked 35 Whelen IMP, 24in long, and 1in14 twist

It was Otto Bock that developed the cartridge in 1905 for the 98 Mauser, not Paul Mauser.

If I want to shoot lighter weight bullets faster than 9.3 with 232 grain, I just take my 35 Whelen.

or you could take your 9.3x64 if you had one.

i'd love to shoot some Orxy 286 out of mine, but I can never find any.

Got a few boxes from Graf&Sons on line a while back.

Old stock, w/o the crimping groove.

Might keep an eye out.

They have been very good of late on bullet availability.

Noticed that my .270 Win. staple bullet (.277/150 gr. Speer Grand Slam) was also in stock.

I wish Norma USA would put out some 9.3x62 Vulkan ammunition into the US market!

 

[F. Vaccaro]

A happy thought, those with a .375 H&H can easily turn it into
a 9.3X62 by using starting loads

Midway and Graf's both have Oryx, but nothing else in stock. Graf's has 232, 285, and 325 in stock


I was finally able to buy a couple boxes back in July
