Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 9.3x62 powder for reloading

Thanks, I’m gona try my 4166 with some of the 286gr projectiles with it. I have 8lbs so I need something to use it in 😆

Thank you. That is an older Rem 700 action, a pacnor super match #3 contour cut at 23", NECG sights and barrel band, McMillan Classic ADL in standard fill, Seekins rail and rings, Timney trigger and black ice coating all over. I went with the 2.5-10 NSX after having 2 other scopes lose their internals on it. It really balances well and is a favorite though I have not used it on any hunts yet. That will change this fall. Shoots 286 TSX and Hornady very well also.

Pretty neat, except for the handle being on the wrong side....



DF

RL-17 for the win, i use it under 320 grain Woodleighs for over 2400 fps to chase on the heels of my 375 H&H, Fed-215 or CCI-250 primers in Hornady brass, bughole shooter.

Basing this off loading this for the 338/06, for 200, 225 and 250 grain Hornady SPs...

H 380 got the most velocity and accuracy combination....

I've had others tell me that they use it in the 35 Whelen....

So just a suggestion

Hello RemingtonMan,

Congratulations on your new rifle! 9.3m is the most amazing hunting caliber! I have hunting rifles chambered for 9.3X62, 9.3X64 and 9.3X74R. For 9.3X62, I can recommend the following two loads which I have personally developed:

Load A:

Bullet: Lapua Naturalis 250gr (NPL9204)
Brass: RWS
Primer: Fed 210M
Charge: 56gr N540
COAL: 83mm

Shoots touching groups at 100 yards out of my Blaser R8 with heavy Selous barrel. Muzzle velocity is around 2380 +/- 10 ft/sec. This caliber/bullet combination kills anything. It passes through one, two or may be three boars!

You can also reduce the load to 54gr of N540 for another accuracy node at around 2200 ft/sec.





Load B:

Bullet: Woodliegh 286gr SN
Brass: RWS
Primer: Fed 210M
Charge: 54gr N540
COAL: 83mm

This load shoots sub-MOA (0.6 inch to be exact) out of my Carl Gustaf (Sauer 80) rifle. Muzzel velocity is 2200 +/- 2 f/sec! I have not hunted anything with this rifle yet.



Develop loads carefully starting with less than the values I have listed to make sure they are safe in your rifle.

Good luck!

Thanks For the info omid.
You have some fine looking rifles.
Have you taken any game larger than boar with your 9.3x62?

Thank you for your kind words. No, I have not had a chance to hunt anything else with that rifle. Last August, I shot a wild pig with my 9.3X64 Blaser R93. 9.3X64 is a more powerful caliber than 9.3X62 and is very rare even in Europe. I use lighter 220gr bullets for loading my 9.3X64 because the R93 rifle is much lighter the R8. Note that this R93 is equipped with a non-magnifying Aimpoint sight. Such sights make shooting extremely quick and intuitive.They are also much lighter than most scopes making the rifle point naturally like a fine shotgun. A fine Zeiss or Schmidt and Bender scope is great for load development and testing a rifle's accuracy. Once you develop an optimal load, you can remove the scope on your rifle and put a red-dot sight on it. Now, you are ready to "hunt".

Regards,

Bob Mitchel aka CZ550 published some hot loads here and on his blog w R17

I tried them and had great luck with those loads sub 1” and fast
