Re: 9.3x64

4seventy,

I have used the 320 gr. Woodlieghs in both the 9.3x62 and the 9.3x64 on Buffalo. I have observed it used in the 9.3x74 on Buffalo and it reacted about the same in all cases..The bonded cores have changed the way things work IMO....They do expand to a great degree and stop on the off side skin as a rule...in all three calibers...

It is my preferred elk, Bison, and Cape Buffalo load with 57 grs of RL-15 or a stiff load of H-414 in my 9.3x62..I get perfect expansion out of my 26" barrel at about 2400 FPS....They also stabilize quite well..I tested them for Geoff McDonald as he had not used them at such velocity but thought they would do well if they would stabilize...

I also worked with him on the development of the 350 gr 375 and 450 gr. 416 which I also field tested in Africa on Buffalo last year...They stabilize well and are a bloody hammer on Buffalo...The PP is tougher than the RN btw, but both worked very well indeed....for what its worth.
