9.3x62 cast loads - 10/25/19
Figured I’d get more action here than the Cast section. Anyone work with heavier cast bullets in the 9.3?
I’m looking at buying some of Missouri Bullet Co.’s 270 gr coated bullets for practice and plinking in my 9.3s. I saw John mentioned The Load of 13.0 gr of Red Dot in my Gack book and further research led me to Harris’ mention of 16 gr of 2400. I also found Hodgdon’s 60% rule for reduced loads of H4895.
I’ve never worked with cast in rifles before (apart from .44 Mag) and am looking for suggestions on the best starting place for that particular 270 gr bullet. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, anyone have an idea on the velocity limit for such bullets to avoid leading?
