Killertraylor,

The Nosler 9.3x62 data is with typical low-pressure loads, due to the ancient factory standards still adhered to in some factory ammo, primarily from Europe.

I use loads in my own 9.3x62 (23.6" barrel) that get just under 2500 fps with 286's and 2650 with 250's. Both have been pressure-tested at around 60,000 psi, which is standard .30-06 SAAMI pressure. And a 250-grain spitzer at 2650 is a lot more than a short-range load.

I like German stuff and have killed a bunch of animals in North America and Africa with the 7x57 and 9.3x62--a combination I took to Africa four years ago. But that's doesn't mean anything other than I was lucky enough to hit them right.
