I have 9.3x74 ammo by Norma and RWS. Hornady is in short supply but is not made by Sellier & Bellot that I am aware of. For reloading I prefer RWS brass but find Norma easier to find. Have not been able to obtain any Hornady brass as yet or loaded ammo. I would have no hesitation taking ANY game on earth with the 9.3x74r. I have owned 9.3's by Chapuis,Valmet,Ruger and think it is probably my favorite of all all round calibers. I like it so much that's my license plate number.

Zim: I assume you use your 9.3 for hunting there in AZ as well as elsewhere? Deer, elk there?

What are your favorite bullets?

I do not own a x74R but "as my name implies" my x57 runs a 285 grain bullet out at 2100 fps and is one of my favorite calibers. As you say, the 9.3 caliber is easy to get bitten by! Anyway, my x57 speeds appear just a smidge below many x74R velocities I've seen posted which is another question really, as it seems published factory velocities for the x74R cartridge hover around 2300 fps for 285/286 grain bullets, with cited chrono'd velocities I've seen in various places actually running closer to 2150 to 2250.

What is your experience in this regard?
