Hello everyone,


Here are some new test results for Caliber 9.3X62 using a new Swarovski scope: My optimal load of 56 grain of N540 powder + 250 grain Lapua Naturalis bullet performed very well again. This load shoots sub-MOA at 100 yards and I could repeatedly hit a 300-Y disk with it once my scopes BDC turret was set to the per-calculated 300Y mark. This mark provides about 7 MOA of elevation adjustment over the 100 Y zero. However, the 400Y mark which I had set to about 11 MOA seemed to be excessive. The rifle shot over the target at 400Y.

The test results were very satisfying. I don't think I will ever really need to shoot anything at 400Y with this rifle so calibrating the scope's turret up to 300Y is enough. No need to waist any more precious hand-load ammo
