Thread: Anyone hunting with a 9.3x62

Here is some
You can easily extrapolate from Hodgdon's data.
They list for BLC2:

I use BLC2 in my own 9.3x62 it delivers higher speeds than Hodgdon's data shows. Hodgdon shows the same data for the 270gr., but also lists lighter bullets in the .376 Steyr cgt.with BLC2. The Steyr has a slightly larger case than the 9.3x62- by a couple gr.

I'm sure you can safely start at 64.0gr. and go from there, as pressure signs indicate.

The lighter bullet should give the same speed as the heavier one, with the same load. A chronograph is necessary when developing your own data.
Hodgdon's listed Data - EVERYONE needs to purchase this Annual Manual. This data is from their 2004 manual.

270gr. Speer -
starting load 60.0gr. - 2,338fps at 39,600CUP
maximum load- 66.0gr. - 2,548fps at 47,400CUP

@Fireflite here is some CZ FS specific data 9.3x62 and re-loads - Graybeard Outdoors

Hi dakota elk slayer,

The lightest bullet I have used is 270 gr. However I have gotten good result using fed. 215 primers in a
20" barrel. With a 250 gr. bullet in a 20" barrel, I would use a faster powder, H-4895, H-322, imr-4320,
or rl-12. I have gotten high velosity with Blc-2. With 62.5 grs. of Blc-2, using a 286 gr. bullet I get
2350 fps with a 20" barrel. With the CZ550 there is room to seat the bullet further out than 3.280.
The barnes 250 gr. tsx is long and would work well, I'm going to try it next, also I like the swift 250 gr.
swift bullet I'm also getting 2500 fps. apx. with 270 gr. speer bullet using 67 grs. of Blc-2.

Thank you Stug.

Jakewire, here is sum load data.
including lots hodgdon powder options.

I know this thread is about 9.3 x 62... but as many on this thread are big bore fans... in Hunting and fishing hamilton 3 days ago there is/was a 577 snider for sale ,$700 from memory. Second hand of course but doesnt look too bad. Black powder.

If anyone was keen i could take some pics or grab it for them.

You would want to proceed with care, but I use CFE223 as a substitute for BLC-2. They seem to perform the same in my 7-08. BLC-2 is a very dirty burning powder.

Does anyone know of anyone shooting 8mm 06? Found a mention about it on an American forum where they shoot old k 98 k with that caliber

Got the Browning 9.3 out today, Phil at Valley meats was kind enough to let me use his range. Tried the factory privi 9.3 ammo. Worked well with the last two confirmation shots touching after zeroing. No chronograph to test velocity but was very impressed, especially at $36 a box.

Cheap 9.3x62 going on trademe at the moment.

Good bones and could clean up to be a nice shooter.

Whoever threaded it and put that brake on it should be knee capped.

Yip, horrible muzzle break isn't even required. Could still be cut, re crowned and a foresight attached. Could becworth the work if it went cheap.

I find 9.3 to be pretty mild, even my 9 yr old son shoots mine. Loudness was an issue for him though, hate to think what the damn things like with a "loud-en-er" on it. lol
