I really liked mine, & I'm not sure why I sold it to a friend. He seems to need to kill a bunch of moose with every calibre he can lay his hnads on & the 9.3 was no different.
: My rifle responded to BLc2 for the higher velocity loads, up to that tremendous one over 2,500fps with the 286Norma.
: For factory-type loads, 56.0gr. 4064 did 2,271fps, while 60.0gr. W760 made 2,248fps and 62gr. W760 made it to 2,310fps with a CCI200 primer, and 2,323fps with a FED 215 Primer, same charge. A load of 63.5gr. 760 gave 2,332fps with CCI 200 primer and 1-1/2" groups with iron sights @ 100 meters. These 760 loads seemed to be quite low in pressure, BTW.
: I also worked with the 270gr. Speer bullet as I've heard it is a good Moose bullet in the 9.3's. The best loads were running 2,600fps using BLc2, same as the 286gr. The starting load for both bullets was 56gr. & I carefully loaded to within maximum pressures for the RWS cases and my rifle, from there.
: Incidently, a charge of 62gr. of 4064 will drive the 270gr. approximately 2,489fps.for a good, .35 Whelen-type load.
: This ctg. and the .375 Scovil, as well as the .375/06IMP show similar ballistics with like-weight bullets. They work well at the reduced speeds of the 9.3X62 factory ammo, but actually come much closer to the 9.3X64 factory power levels than one would believe. All it takes is very careful load development, as the factory ammo is loaded to quite low pressues.
