mudhen,

The reason that members don't like posting sources is:

1. Many people, who request "sources", want to waste the person's time looking for exact sources.
(Frankly, I used to go do the sort of searching to prove a point but QUIT, when I figured out how few people really needed/wanted the information.)
2. SOME "requesters" just want to argue about something OR they are just trolling.
3. SOME "requesters" want the requested information but are too slothful to do their own research & would prefer that someone else go do the work for them..
4. SOME "requesters" ask for sources just to try to avoid revealing that their opinion just might be incorrect.
or
5. Any number of other possibilities.

It's my OPINION that BEFORE a member asks for sources that they should do their own research & see if the original commenter is correct.

yours, tex

My copy of Big Bore Rifles and Cartridges was published in 1991 by Wolfe. It covers a lot of loading data and author's experience with the cartridges and bullets used on big game. Bob Hagel has numerous articles in it.. I think a lot of the articles were published in Handloader. I can't figure out how attach pics from my computer to my reply, but I can email pics of the cover.

Somehow, I suspect that Mule Deer has spent considerably more time than you have researching the history of cartridge development.

When a member states a "fact" that is at odds with the results of another member's research and personal experience, that member is certainly entitled to ask for source(s) that identify the origin of the conflicting statement as well as sources that support the conflicting statement.

It's not a matter of being lazy or argumentative--it's an attempt to nail down pertinent information. It's called learning.

gumfighter,

THANKS for trying.

Fwiw, I was once privileged to meet Mr. Hagel, when he was a lecturer at the MP Field Grade Officer's Refresher Course in 1981 at Ft. McClellan, AL. = NICE guy, was he. - After his presentation was completed, he insisted on taking the ones of us who were his escorts out for supper, which is unusual.
(Most VIPs treat escorts/LEO/security personnel as if we are "invisible", "beneath them" & "unimportant")..
IF memory serves correctly, Mr.Hagel passed away about 15 years ago.

Note: The NICEST people that I ever had to provide security for were US Senator John Warner & his then wife, Elizabeth Taylor-Warren, who spent a weekend at our post on a Congressional "fact-finding trip". = A TRUE Virginia, of the old school, gentleman was the Senator & she was not only polite/friendly but tried to make our mission easier. - NOT what I expected a major Hollywood star to act like..

yours, tex

A quick thanks to everyone who provided their experiences with the lighter weight Norma bullets. I appreciate it!

mudhen,

FYI, I was NOT talking about "Mule Deer" (in my post to you, as I suspect that you knew), who is a nice guy, but rather about several members here on the forum, who fit what I said to a tee. = I remember one "requester" in my early days on the forum, who kept insisting that I go find the original sources, to include the exact quotes, that I had mentioned in passing in a comment.

When I did post the sources (I looked them up in our college library), the member then said, "I don't agree with those sources. Go find other sources.". When I looked for/found/posted other sources, he then demanded more & different sources. = Like I said, some people just want to be argumentative & are happy to waste everyone else's time, refuse to believe that they just might be wrong on any subject OR they want to start "a flame war".
(One of the gun forums, that I've belonged to for over 13 years, has finally lost patience with & banned numerous such haters, "keyboard commandos" & trolls.).

In case you haven't noticed, we have our ration of TROLLS on this forum, as well as some "who know NOT & know NOT that they know NOT". . Thankfully those drones are far outnumbered by many GREAT/helpful members.

yours, tex

I would also like to thank those who shared their experiences using the lighter bullets in this caliber. I love these older calibers and try to use the traditional bullets types that they made their reputations with. When it comes to the 9.3X62 though, I was given a bag of 232 gr bullets along with it and I'm just too cheap to not use them up. Fortunately, they shoot to about the same POI at 100 yards as the 270 and 286 bullets I've tried, so I can pretty much use them all interchangeably for hunting.

Tex, I am also starting the process of working a load for some 280 gr gas checked cast bullets. First outing was using 5744 and reduced H4895 loads. They were midrange loads, probably in the 1600 fps range, and were in 3-4 MOA. I would love to hear about the loads you have for this caliber. If you prefer not to share your loads out on the open net, feel free to pm me. If I can come up with something that shoots really well, the jacketed bullets may get awful lonely sitting on the shelf....

After screwing up the accuracy for the 250 AccuBond and 286 Partitions in my beloved custom Pre 64 M70, I tried the 250 E-tips which helped but the 250 TTSX put the "A" back in accuracy for my rifle, running 2550 fps. Headed out for elk in less than 2 weeks.

Hey Mule Deer,

How far out, impact velocity wise, would you take the 250 TTSX?

Thank you,

Alan, if I remember right it's 1600 fps, but I can't find my notes so I'd recommend calling Barnes to make sure. Each bullet they make seems to have specific and varied minimum expansion velocities. I found this out while researching what bullet to use for reduced loads for my son's 9.3.

I seat them about half a calibre deep but my 9.3x62 is a single shot so the rounds aren't subject to recoil.

I used the 232gr Vulkan at 2,600fps on some deer and a moose calf - worked well

I then changed to the 232gr Oryx at same velocity and shot 2 bulls and a cow moose over 2 years. The oryx was OK but on the last bull I overstretched it shooting a hard angling bull at a full run because I thought I had wounded it (actually I clean missed). The bullet penetrated the left ham, excited, entered the abdomen and stopped against the diaphragm. The bull was shot an hour later. The recovered oryx was virtually a disc and had lost very little weight.

It was an unfair test but I'm not convinced that in this weight bonded is better. Sure it loses less weight but the frontal area means that penetration is no better than the vulkan which by shedding weight as the jacket peels back reduces frontal area. Some supposition but I did test in paper and observed this

John saved me money and time by publishing that data......60 grs of Varget and the 250 TSX works just fine.

Varget works well in my 9.3 as well as in two 22-250s with heavier bullets.

Yep, John saved me money, too

But, this Fire business in general has cost me more than I've saved... blush

Applies to many of us l'm sure. Varget rocks in my 308 Win also.

IIRC Mauser claimed the 9.3x62 was their own invention; they did refer to it as "our 9.3x62" in pre WW II catalogs. Again IIRC, the tradition of Otto Bock being given credit for it started with Frank Barnes and his first edition of Cartridges of the World. One of the other forums, possibly African Hunting, had quite a discussion several years ago on who came up with the round, and it ended with Mauser as the winner.


All the best - Dave

this is only in North America about 9.3x62 mauser in europe they say 9.3x62 with development done by a gunsmith with the name of Otto Bock.

in the time of our gun registry i had a rifle registered with 9.3x62 mauser for caliber i tried to explain to the shop where i buy there is no such a thing. useless needless to say lol.
