Thank you for the reply.

Did the extrapolation and came up w/ 60.8 gr. VARGET and < 60K psi., based on the hodgdonreloading.com and other data.

But didn't know if it would fit under the bullet, based on the Nosler % data.

Close enough.


Can now figure a buy quantity, and ladder up some 270 and 286 gr. loads over the chrono.

... if the powder ever becomes available.




GR

Easy, just exactly the amount Nosler, Barnes, Hodgdon, and Norma load manuals say it will hold.

According to Hodgdon, H4350 get you to the same place without extrapolating.......

Interesting suggestion.


Available powder.

Had ruled it out as being too slow... but it works pretty well w/ the heavier loads, and is still an "Extreme" powder.

Wouldn't work too well for the 250 gr. TSX, but could have that on its own powder (1 lb).


Uses more powder that the VARGET load, so it will be a little harder on both recoil and throat erosion.

... but could use it for .270/150 gr. loads as well, along w/ the H4831SC.


It would also be a better powder for the 230 gr. Woodleigh Weld-core RN/SP's when they become available.

Anyone that responds to this thread more than once----is a TRUE MEAT HEAD!!!

The campfire is in dire need of a like button 😀👍

Reloading manual data doesn't tell the full 9.3x62 story.

Nor does guessing pressure with quickload or any other bllsht method.

I can't speak on improperly chambered 9.3x62's but of the 3 9.3x62's I've owned and hunted with, they all had very generous throats.

As expected, these longer throats lower pressure. You see it over the chronograph and you see it on the brass.

In all three (two cz's and an oberndorf sporting mauser), I could load a 300 grain swift a-frame until the base of the bullet was flush with the bottom of the shoulder, not impeding case capacity whatsoever.

This leaves about 70 grains of usable powder capacity with dense ball powders.

Though I would never use leverevolution powder, 71.5 grains fills a norma brass to the base of the shoulder, just for reference.

The crimp groove is improperly placed on the 300 grain a-frame, putting the bullet too low in the brass. Even at this point, 64 grains of alliant 2000 MR easily fit in the case.

Even slower Extruded powders like RL 16, which are not very dense, I am loading 60 grains of the RL 16, as a lower-pressure load for the 1922 oberndorf rifle. I don't want to crack that original stock.


Carry on with the hypothetical, thinking outloud bllsht .......

Then 286 gr./2400 fps should be doable w/ VARGET.

Even once - can indicate inbreeding.

Thank you.




GR

Inbreeding is OK as long as you keep it in the Family!
