Out to 225 yards or so, BC is not much of a concern for me. This is the range that both my 358 Win as well as my 9.3x62 excel. For the 358 Win I use 225 grain NP's and my 9.3 likes 286 grain Norma Oryx and 286 grain NP's. I really like both calibers…a lot. A lot of hunters miss out on the potential ballistics of the 9.3 X 62 if they don't max their loads and use bullets like the 250 AB (.494 BC) and 286 NP (.482 BC). Using the best powder to date for the 9.3 X 62, which is RL-17, I'm getting 1/2 moa from the 250 AB at 2700+ fps. That's good to 500yds with a little over 2000 ft-lbs remaining.PSI is about 63,000. That's in the realm of the .338 Win Mag which, incidentally, has a SAAMI spec of 64,000 psi but the rifle is the exact same rifle as mine in a Tikka T3. I figure the Tikka T3 which has the same barrel 1.6" inches shorter, and heavier at the chamber due to the cartridge being slimmer, is also safe at 64,000 psi max. I shot an excellent bl. bear last Oct 1st with that load, not at 500 yards but at 85 with 3630 ft-lbs of kinetic smash remaining. The 286 NP is even better with 2100ft-lbs remaining at 500 yds. Need a long range elk or moose gun? I have one but it's not for sale! Bob www.bigbores.ca
