In reply to: Mac, I agree the Woodleigh bullets sure are good, but it might be worth pointing out that the 320 grain round nose types were designed for use in the 360 No2 at under 2200 fps. The 9.3 x 64 handloads using 320 grainers would be capable of considerably higher velocity than the 360 No2. The solution for the 9.3 x 64 softpoint would be to use the Woodleigh 320 grain "Protected Point" bullet (rather than the roundnose) for a couple of reasons. First, the 320 gn 9.3 PP bullet is designed for a higher velocity of up to 2600 fps as compared to 2200 fps for the round nose soft point. Second, the Protected Point bullet will not suffer any tip damage in the rifles magazine during recoil. And third, the semi spitzer front on the Protected Point bullet will most likely provide a better feed from magazine into chamber with a bolt action rifle. The Protected Point Woodleigh bullets are also "weldcore" type and have their core soldered to the jacket just the same as the Woodleigh round nose style. |
