Re: 9.3x62 Hornady bullet failure

NOT good news!

That looks as bad as the Speer 270 grain bullets I used on 10 deer and antelope here in Wyoming. They are just big varmint bullets! 270 grains out the muzzle and 45 grains when it stopped. Penetration was LESS than 5 inches!



In my opinion, no animal below 450 pounds should be able to stop a bullet from a 9.3X62 or a 9.3X74R. If the bullet is stopped in them its only because the bullet is coming apart.
VERY poor performance for a bullet for a bullet Hornady shows as bullet for very large game.
I would write and complain.

I did so with Speer, and they said they didn't really care.
Lets see if Hornady is any more concerned
