Quote: The 270 Speer bullet acts like varmint bullet - way too soft in the jacket, even for a 1,800fps impact on a calf moose. Bullet went to pieces. The Norma bullets, 232gr. Vulcan and Oryx, driven to 2,450fps(9.3x57/M96) with H335, BLC2 or H4895 make good game bullets with nice thick jackets - bonded in the Oryx. They both shot sub inch for me at 100meters. If you want, I can give you my data,, or type it out here. I also shot a re-sized 225gr. Hornady SP, at 2,550fps - same load as the 232 Norma bullets. Rod H. found these to be remarkable game bullets, deep penetration and nice expansion. Should be able to get those at tradeexcanada. 8x57RP brass is easy to form. 1st is new 8x57 RP case 2nd is new 8x57 RP case necked up for .366" bullet. 3rd is new 8x57 case necked straight in one pass - no annealing 4th is new 8x57 case necked for proper headspace in my rifle - note height of the shoulder compared to #2 case - easier to see than the shoulder, is the length of the neck - that is .019" difference. My rifle had .019" headspace on a simply necked up case. This was common on the m96 9.3x57 rifles due to sloppy chambering. |
