Hey guys. Nosler has 9.3x62 and 9.3x74R brass on closeout for $14.95 per box of 25.
I sure hope this doesn't mean they're not going to ever make the 250 grain Accubombs again.
The deal is at Noslers site and not at SPS.

Thanks dude... You cost me some coin... I am not holding my breath on the 250gr 9.3mm Accubonds. When I called Nosler to check on the production schedule for the 9.3 NAB's I was told that it was going to be at least six months. As in October... of 2016... 20 months later, STILL have not seen a new batch of them available, anywhere.

Yeah at first glance I was bombed by the price, I'd bought 50 at the going rate when I bought my 9.3x62 Ruger African.
Accubombs were plentiful at the time but I didn't have time to mess with MD loads and that was my loss.
Managed to score 100 Accubombs and at 62 grains of RL15 nirvana. Great accuracy good velocity but I'm down to my last fifty.
Not a deal breaker cause I've got light loads from the 270 Speer mid range w\Accurate 5744 to 95 grain Makorov bullets with Tight Group or Trail Boss.
The round took off great but seems to have languished lately.

They have some 9.3x62 ammo on sale too. At the rate I keep buying supplies for rifles I don't own, I'm never going to have the money to buy the rifles ...

I feel your pain. I keep finding bargains for stuff I don't own.
This one is particularly painful because I know what'll work and it's become unobtainium.

At one point in the past, when the brass was still normal price, the cost of the Nosler 9.3x62 loaded ammo was less than the combined component price for the brass and the 250gr Accubonds. Unfortunately, the 9.3x62 NAB ammo is out of stock...

Thanks for the FYI on the AB's @ SPS, I just salted away 300; not so sure why as I still have 100 of the old 9.3 250 grain BT's to use up.

I see someone calling them accubombs. Do these 250 accubonds not hold up?

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Have only shot Accubonds on game out of a .270 Winchester, 130gr, at KY White Tails. Actually seemed a little "hard" to me, even inside 100 yards. Betting that the 9.3's will work just fine as well.
BTW, SPS is now out of stock. Sold out 78 units of an odd metric caliber in just 2 days. They also quickly sold out of 9.3x62 brass last month when they dropped the price. Hopefully Nosler will take notice of increasing 9.3 popularity moving forward...
