    56gr 2208 with a 286gr Prvi gives 2260ish in my Mauser.

    The Sika stag shot last week with 9.3x64B was 66 gr AR2208 and 270 gr Speer. High spine about 4" of back steak and backbone missing could still eat up to the big hole. Just a light plinking load at 2540 fps.
    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.

    The 9.3 x 62 is very close in power and performance to the 35 Whelen, which is a proven Elk killer. In fact, it's not far behind the .375 H&H in power! It's an old cartridge that we don't see much here in North America but it was very popular in Africa. I believe Norma makes new head stamped brass and possibly some others too but you can make you own easy enough by necking up 30-06 brass and trimming back to the proper length. It's generally recommended to expand the neck to .375 and then reduce to .366, or 9.3 mm's. RCBS makes dies for this cartridge.

    Welcome EdvinJones, hang around a bit and further the discussion, lapua 9.3x62 brass is pricey but fairly easy to get here.

    Anyone know off hand if the 9.3 × 62 will fit in a standard long action, specifically a Brno ZKK600 action?

    There is one on TM with a butchered, shot out barrel for a couple hundy and i am toying with the idea of graphing it and rebarreling it, of course with a set of folding leaf express sights and barrel band sling swivel.

    Would make a nice sibling for my 7 × 64 ZKK.

    I am no expert or even a journeyman, but it looks like it should.

    Yeah, I am also thinking it should, bolt face and mag should be similar too so minimal mods should be needed.
    Let's see what the Brno goes for, maybe my next project!

    Looks like they actually made one, so should work!

    Even better, anyone have a factory one?

    Had the 9.3x62 out today, getting ready for a hunt in next few days,
    New iron sights installed, still a bit high, so will knock out the .410" sight and put on the .445 tonight, or in morning.
    Varget 57.5 gr, with a CCI 200, lapua and a 270gr Speer, pretty happy with results, standing offhand at 25m,
    Tried a few loads of BLC-2, not quite as good, but was getting a bit beat down from recoil after a few sight adjustments,
    a 7lb 9.3x62, is pretty lively when you light it off.
