Re: Aussie Copper for M1910

I would think the Speer 235gr. could also be a good one for the 9.5x56/7.

Sized down for the 9.3, it impressed 9.3x57 a great deal in his penetration tests, me too. Seems quite a tough bullet now, if started about 2,450fps or so. No breakup and matched penetration of the Swift A-Frame from a .375 at 2,450fps.

Buddy of mine up here has, over the years shot a bunch of moose with the 235gr. Speer - mostly broadside with them from a .375H&H - terrific performance, all balled up expanded totally on the off side hide and dead moose. No breakup. Keith was driving them full speed ahead - at 2,900fps most likely. He got 3,000fps from the 9.3x68 I made up.
In those days, he relished on long range moose in the cut blocks so normal ranges would be 100 to 400yards more than likely.
