Re: Geco Mauser 9,3*57, age?

670 meters per second = 26,908inches per second = 2,191ft. per second.

That is very slow and barely exceeds my 300gr. handloads that are also quite low in pressure - less than .0005" 1/2 thou) expansion at the case web.

The moose shooting testing showing recovered bullets done with factory 9.3x62 using a protected tip 232gr. showed virtualy perfect expansion every time. The velocity of the Norma ammo was approximately 2,650fps with the 232gr. bullet.

That bullet is no longer available, but is a virtual copy, visually to the 232gr. Vulcan. The 232gr. Vulcan I sectioned, had a very thick jacket as bullets in that calibre run. It appeared to be a good one, but of course, further testing, as on game, would be necessary. The 232gr. Oryx has a bonded jacket. One of them must be good enough. Here in Canada, they are the same price - about $82.00 per hundred.
