Generally have a single load for rifle calibers as well.

But the 9.3x62mm offers the same kind of flexibility as the .30-06, but more to the point as a stopping round.

Some places I hunt will never see 200 yds.

This is an actual 320 gr. Weldcore RN found in the 8th jug of this Test.

Recovered weight is listed as 317.6 gr.

Performance looks good, and the ranges for its intended use match the bullet's engineering specs.

So why Not use a 320 gr., if it is ideal for the work, including an SD of .341?

... If I needed a bullet to work Really well at 25 yds.


Will a 285-6 gr. Oryx/A-Frame, at just shy of 2400 fps for the same ME, work as well?


Longer range, light duty and high performance bullets in .366", I have.

What I don't have - is the knowledge of the max powder capacity of Varget in this case, behind a 320 gr. Weldcore RN loaded to a COAL of ~ 3.25"

Hence the repeated quarry.
