Hi Folks,

Been looking at the forum for a long time and thought I'd finally pull up a chair to the campfire. I have a 9.3x62 that I found a few pet loads for it but am needing some of your opinions on which bullet would be the best(better) choice. There was a thread regarding 9.3 bullets last Nov. but didn't quite answer the few questions I have.

Load #1 Speer 270gr Hot Cor - groups under an inch at around 2,450 ft/sec

Load #2 Nosler 250gr Accubond - groups a little over an inch at around 2,500 ft/sec

I have not tried any of the 286's yet.

I should mention that I got this rifle for my general hunting needs in Alaska (primarily moose and grizzly). I've not had this hard of time deciding on a bullet for a cartridge before. I grew up only hunting deer in eastern MT and haven't had the opportunity to hunt the big stuff here in Alaska where bullet choice takes on a whole new meaning. Is the Hot Cor strong enough to fit the bill or should I go up to the premium bullets.

Thanks for your input folks!

Chris
