Best all-around 9.3x74R factory ammo for hunting?
#156506 - 15/03/10 05:57 AM

If you were to pick ONE factory load for hunting everything in N. America, what would you pick (wild bore up to elk and bear)?

Secondly, for custom loads, what is your favorite bullet for above?

Don't use factory but the 286 gr Woodleigh Protected Point works for me. Something similar in a factory load.

Do any factory loads come with Woodleigh bullets?

For factory fodder Hornady is pretty good stuff.It'll work fine for anything in North America.

The 285 gr Norma Oryx is what I would try if I was looking for an all round SP hunting bullet.
