So what is the "proper" barrel length for a 9.3x62

I very much like the 24 inch barrel on this one: And the 25.6" barrel on this one: My cz550 has a 23.6" barrel. But my next build will be a 20" Mannlicher stocked version. I have a 35 Whelen with 19" barrel and one with a 24" barrel. The difference in performance isn't enough to get worked up about. I like the 19" for walking pig hunts.

Rusty, As others have said, they don't know of a mid-bore that doesn't shoot well....I suspect they are correct....

Gunner, Can I trouble you for a load for the 250grain accubond? I have been loading 286grain hornady bullets that shoot beautifully, but thinking about going lighter for deer & hogs.
On another note, does anyone know if there is a basic 250 grain bullet for range time? Seems like this weight is only premium. Thanks
Experience is something you get, just after you needed it.

Just spotted this thread. I have a Lh Zastasa in 9.3x62 that has had only one jacketed bullet down the barrel.(my brother drop it in on me) But I have shoot about 400 Cast 280gr boolels and have used it on 2 whitetails. Both just did about a 50yd death charge and piled up. With this small test I find that it does not ruin as much meat as mt 280Rem. Will do more testing this fall. Clint

I'm also a big fan of the 9.3x62mm Mauser and I've got a Ruger M77 that I had rebarreled to shoot it. With a 23" barrel and a nice scope, it is now my favorite rifle and I've taken everything from white-tailed deer to elephant with it. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if I only had to have one cartridge to hunt with for the rest of my life, I would choose the 9.3x62mm since it is appropriate for such a wide variety of game. I recently wrote an article describing some of the attributes of this fine cartridge. If you're interested, the link is below. http://www.thebiggamehuntingblog.com/2013/09/the-93x62mm-mauser.html#more

Woodleighs in my 9.3-62mm, I use RL-17 to push 'em to 2425 fps from my Heym Mauser. You may want to PM Karnis, thinkin' he loads the 250 Accubonds for his rifle. Grafs sells the 286 gr. Privi bullets at a very reasonable price, they are plenty tough at 9.3-62 speeds. Gunner

A 250 gr. NAB load I've used is John Barsness' favorite, 60.5 gr. Varget at around 2,600 fps. My AHR CZ likes this load and will cloverleaf those bullets at a hundred.
If you don't have Varget, RL-15 works very well. I've not tried Gunner's RL-17 load, but have had very positive experiences with that powder in other rounds. I haven't tried 320 gr. Woodies, either, but don't doubt their effectiveness.
If Gunner likes'em, they gotta be OK.

Without a chrony I'm guessing from drop at known distances that the 59gr load of RL 15, in Privy brass & WLR's under a Speer 270 gr'er is giving me 2400-2450fps & shoots 3-5 round one ragged hole clusters out of a CZ American, when I do my part. But then I used a 56 gr load of RL15 in the same set up for the 1st 40-60 rounds as a break in load and got the same results on paper...from the very 1st time I pulled the trigger on a NIB gun. This Speer 270gr load is shown in one of MD's charts as the "Finn Agaard" load @ 2400 fps. It does put WTails down with "authority".
I need to find some Varget and work up MD's 250 gr load, as I found some 250gr NBT's digging for something else I'd bought years ago from an estate sale on EBay. Wish't I'd bought way more than just the 2 box's I did at about half the price of NAB over runs. Ron

With the current powder supply crisis, one has to use what is available. Fortunately, the 9.3x62 seems to be easy to work with and performs with a variety of powders.
