So I had a long action Hawkeye with a McMillan stock in 280 Remington, I kinda had a hankering to try a 9.3x62 so I sent it off to JES to have it rebored/rechambered with a 1-10 twist, 3 groove barrel.
The 9.3 has a million miles of freebore to accommodate the old RN bullets that were used and 250 Accubonds were loaded to fit and funtion in the magazine. Anyhow, I decided to try Barsness load with RL15 and 250 Accubonds.
I loaded up 58, 59, 60 and 61. I didn't get to the 61 grain charge, and 58 and 59 were roughly around 1.25".
Here is 60... I tossed shot number 4 and decided to see if I could redeem myself..

No idea on speeds yet, but I'll check them eventually. I am guessing its around 2600 FPS or so though going off of others data.
