Re: 9.3x62 and 1:14 twist

At 'probably' somwhat lower velocities, my M46 Husky 14" twist 9.3x57 shoots 225gr. through to 300gr. into 1" or less at 100 meters off a single bag(rest).

The 9.3x62 became a famous killer of African game, dangerous and otherwise, using a solid or soft point round nosed bullet of 286gr. weight. They were driven at a mere 2,175fps MV up until about 1925 or so. Those speeds are easily aquired with safe handloads in a 9.3x57 M46 (M94/96 action)using not only 286gr. but also 300gr. bullets.
