Thread: Anyone hunting with a 9.3x62

I'll find out what he wants Harry, drop you a pm in a couple of days.

Well done Stug what bullet were you using and how did it perform?

@Harryg third deer for the year, first ever with the 9.3. @john m used a 286gr prvi partisan. Him the stag right where the neck joins the chest. Absolutely destroyed the vertebrae. Projectile exited.

Thaat would be good thanks

@Harryg good luck on the hunt for a .375. We might need to organise a big bore goat hunt next time

Nice stug, They certainly drop them don't they! Have had great success with the Hornady 286gr SP-RP projectiles.

Thanks you got me hooked. Will have to get something just depends whats out there if it's a .375 all good or what ever else I would prefer one with open sights

I understand from a number of guys overseas that Reloader 17 is the powder that really makes this cartridge boogie. Not far behind its bigger brother the 9.3 x 64 Brenneke.

for sum reason, I think that R17 is a Normer powder, must go check threw my notes.

Varget does pretty good to, 2600-2650 with a 250gr accubonds or TSX, and its nipping the heels of the 375 H&H, with a 260gr, in a lighter rifle, with one more down,

i have used a 358 norma for about 30 years,similar to yours, good knockdown and ive never wounded an animal

Mate ive used a 35 Whelen pretty extensively over the years on Sambar and Fallow over a GWP and with RN 225 grainers it was a Hammer out to 150m in bush. later used the Whelen on Buffalo up North.. Shes a Capable round. the 9.3 is the Same Same.


the 225s I thin kwas around 55gr 2208
and the 250gr hornadys were low load of 2400fps I thinks, 51gr or somethin.

slow an steady pushed far in

Good to see this post still active

How's everyones 9.3's been going? I've managed to shoot 3 this year with the 9.3, nothing moved from where it was hit. Have developed a new load of 65gr 2209 and 285gr Prvi projectiles. They shoot well on paper haven't chronographed them yet should be in the vicinity of 2300fps.
