Thanks for sharing Axtell.
I found a load with Big Game and 250TTSX which is promising but needs further testing. Haven't yet worked up past 2440 fps with 286 Noslers but they look promising as well. Reloder 17, N550 and 2000 MR are all excellent but I like the idea of temperature resistant powders.
Cheers

H4895 is in the range of usable powders and QLoad shows it to do well with 250s

Hi folks! ........................ I prepare some for testing: 1 bullet-Sako hammerhead - 286gr brass-RWS powder - Ramshot BigGame-64.5grain Primer: CCI 250 COL-3.305
2 bullet-Hornady interlock - 286gr brass-RWS powder - Ramshot BigGame-64.5grain Primer: CCI 250 COL-3.291
3 bullet-Barness TSX FB- 286gr brass-RWS powder - Ramshot BigGame-64.5grain Primer: CCI 250 COL-3.336
............ I test them on the end of big game hunting season, here ! My rifle - CZ 550 Medium lux, 9.3x62. 1st - group average 1.5`` on 10 o`clock from POA. 2nd - holes touch each other and less then 1 moa! Great - I have winner! 3rd - - group dbout 1.5`` on 11 o`clock from POA. Temperature was -7 degreеs, under zero by degrees centigrade. Speed - hrono do not work on range, because of cold weather batterys die There was no ANY sign of over pressure on brass in all 3 tested reloads! I try and GECO 9.3X62 PLUS 255 GR bullets, but my barrel do not like them. Now on turn is RWS Evolution. But do not have any data for them. I will try them with RS BG.

A time ago I see this post from member - writing_frog : "PS: The Ramshot powders (Tac, Big Game, Hunter, Magnum) used by JB are franco/belgian powders we use under an other name with the same results as JB." and wonder - what are euro equivalent of Ramshot Big Game powder? What is this "other name"? I know that RS gunpouders are made in Belgium from this maker - http://www.pbclermont.be/. But do not know this "other name". Is there some one used Reload Swiss RS® gunpowders for reloading 9.3X62? I will try RS60 or RS52. Soon I will buy some Norma Orix 285gr bullets to reload them with Reload Swiss powders.

CZfan,
According to somebody with the on-line name "chamo" posted here a while back that Clermont markets some under the PCL label, and they're also sold by Vectan:
TAC = Vectan Sp7 Big Game = Vectan Sp11 or PCL 511 Hunter = PCL 518 Magnum = Vectan SP12 or PCL 517

Thanks Mule Deer! In our country SP 11 is selling under Nobel Sport brand. Interesting thing is that 1 pound (454 grams) RS BG is with prize about 54,6 USD.
400 grams Sp 11 is about 32 USD.

I am in the midst of rebarreling two rifles, a 760 and a 7600 to 9.3X62, just for fun! smile
Ted, Cool! that is what I am doing, "just for fun!" I'm not a semi-auto guy either, but still, the idea interest me enough to do it. I would think it would make a great Yukon Bruin Rifle! What twist are you going with? I am going with a 14" twist. That is what I started with over 30 years ago, and it has always worked. Even 325 gr bullets stabilize well with that twist in the '62. The project is chuggin' along. Removed the barrel extension from the factory barrel last week. Ted

I will buy soon some RS60 and give it a try with RWS EVO and Norma Oryx-286gr.

What twist are you going with? Been away for a while... wondering how your semi-auto project is coming along? My pumper thumper has ground to a halt. Was supposed to be THE winter project this year, but just too many irons in the fire. We will get it done though. Ted

i got only 2210fps at 12 paces from the muzzle with 54 grains of imr4064. hard to fit more powder in ...that speed is really at the low end for that strong bullet.

From about a month our gunshops start to sell Hornady international in 9.3X62 with 286 gr InterLock® SP-RP bullet. i like InterLock® SP-RP bullet in my rifle so buy box of factory ammo and put them otrough magneto speed. This is data what I get&
Gun: CZ 550 medium lux 9.3X62, 60 sm barrel. Temp.: 13 ℃ degree celsius wind: 2.5m/s light rain
av. Vo = 2231 fps/680 m/s chronoed with magneto speed. On box is written Vo= 2368 fps/722 m/s. Factory ammo COL was 3.133`` I just wonder about this 137fps/42 m/s diference?

g5m, how does one "tag" a thread to follow it at a later date? That is what "tag" implies, no? Geno

I find it much easier to click on the Thread Options drop down menu at the top and select Follow Thread. All the threads/posts/forums you "follow" will be easy to find as they are all in the Follow List which is easily found on your My Stuff drop down list.
