Nah its head shooting them with big bores!

A old pic of a "stripped bush panther" shot with a .375.

John,does that mean the 9.3x62 is more gun then the 375 ?.

Maybe we need a "cat thread".

Well Obviously - Just look at the difference - Doh!

I had a 275gr. from my .375 BRNO stop inside a prairie picket pin - Richardson's Ground Squirrel by make, no more than 1 1/8" in diameter - the bullet stopped under the hide of his back. Slit the skin with a pocket knife and it fell out into my hand. Even the .303 would shoot through them - sheeeeeesh!

Sounds like you need a premium bullet for those.

Who would of thought,.366" and up as varmint calibers.

No I probably choose to use a FMJ, as everyone knows the "striped bush panther" is a potential man eater and killer. One would not choose to let loose one of them wounded. The losses would make the tolls of Corbetts leopards in India look negligible in comparison!

(Probably the bullet was a 300 gr RNSP Woodleigh Weldcore)

Yeah I think the opening for your new pair of slippers goes at the other end, but as Neale says "What ever blows your hair back". Ha but seriously Neale as usual good shooting, but I reckon you really used my CZ then snuck your ".410" in for the photo. Haha you can swear at me tomorrow, talk then mate.

Good shooting Neale.

That is a thin barrel but it seems to work.

Looks like you where lucky as you weren't using 375FMJ's, thank heavens it was a Panther and not a wounded Mosquitoe:-)

Here is a 286 grain Woodleigh PP recovered from a pig today.

The 45kg pig was shot in the "south end" at about 120 yards and bullet found behind the ear.

What load, Neale? Good looking bullet peformance - ie: what velocity?

58 grains of 2208 with a CCI mag primer for 2370 fps.

These were my Brno's loaded rounds but they chambered in my Zastava.

To make things easier,all my Highland brass is for the Zastava and my Norma brass is for the Brno ZKK.

When I run out of 2208,I am going to use 56.5 grains of 2206H for 2400 fps with the 286 grain bullet.

Once again to make things simple,I will load 2209 in the 404,375 H&H,8x68s and 338-06.

Then load 2206H in the 6-223,both 9.3x62's,45-70 and 458 win mag.

Two powders should do it.

Ah- 2208=Varget.

I've really come to like H4895 and BLC2 in the 9.3x62 and a very similar round ballistically and with identical case capacity, my 375/06IMP.

AR2209, I find to be quite versatile. I use it in my 270Win, 35Sambar, 375H&H and 416 Rigby-once the 2213sc is gone.

I have put about 80 rounds through the Zastava now and I am liking it more and more.

Shot six pigs this afternoon with seven shots,all on the run.

This fella was the biggest.

FATBOY404, did you have any feeding problems with the Highland 286Gr ammo, mine will not feed them, & did you shoot her for grouping before you had it glass bedded ?

I will be using Nosler Partitions 286Gr so I think they will feed, but also have Nosler DG Flat Nose Soilds, they may not work !

You're giving that rifle a good workout Neale.
It sounds like a good value for money gun, that's for sure.

I've seen them priced around the $450.00 to $550.00 bracket here. It seems a fine price for a new '98 Mauser rifle, especially in 9.3x62. One in 6.5, 7 or 8mm x57 would also be nice.

Certainly a versatile round. Especially when you don't need to see through the scope to hit stuff because of all the mud!
