Thread: Anyone hunting with a 9.3x62

Do any of you guys who shoot 9.3 use cast bullets? Im looking for some in the 190 to 210 range for a 9.3x57r cape rifle. The 285s that shooter nz casts are too long for the twist rate and keyhole. I got the shotty barrel on the board over duck shooting and would like to "complete the set"

Have a look around here

366 (9.3mm) calibre

I am thinking about casting Bullets for my 9,3X53R and using Black Powder.CBE is a class outfit,I have a few of their molds.

guess the old type Sako ring mounts, couldn't take the recoil, and scope flew off, was starting to really wonder, as getting a vertical spread of 300mm, 2-3 shots in same place, and adjust a few clicks, and it would move 100-150 mm up or down, oh well, sore shoulder for nought, 30 plus shots, but did check speeds on hand loads.

64gr Blc with 270gr Speer, Lapua brass, CCI200, gives 2515fps, pretty good, for a 20" tube. and plenty enough recoil for me.


62gr CFE.223, Norma brass, CCI200, 250g Accubond gives me 2510fps , scope flew off at this point, still got 63 and 64gr to try,
61gr was 2455fps, 250 AB,

Anyone tried the 232gr Norma in there 9.3x62, or other lightweight bullet, I see Trade-X up here has 5 boxes, each of Valcan, and oryx 232gr.

I ran the 232 vulcans for a bit, they were doing just over 2500fps from memory. Didn't shoot much with them but they worked really well. Noone here stocks them though.

Thanks, what are you using ? cheep speer and PP 285, seam the most aviable in NZ,
Just ordered another box of Accubonds, they are accurate, but reduclios expensive, work out at $1.50 each, the PP are .63c and the speers are 70c, can get the Norma 232 Vulken for 1.20 each, but expect shipping to bump that up to close to $1.50, as they are on other side of Canada.

I currently use the PP 285gr but also had Really good results with the 270gr speer's.

JUst bought a barrel and action in 9.3x62 will make stock out of pohotukawa but looking for bottom metal for 98 Mauser .Any help appreciated Snow.

Brownells or workshop innovations.

I picked up this recently, it joins my plastic fantastic tikka 9.3 in the safe. The tikka does the job and is my go-to rifle on multi day sambar missions, but this one just feels like a 'proper' rifle.

Yep the CZ is a real rifle in any calibre would like one in 9.3x62 will have to make do with my Husky for a while longer

good on yar nak, I like the 550, but they are sum what heavy,

Few 9.3 goodies showed up, for the sako.

Decent amount there mate, I'm going to give the 270 speers another go with 2208.

Any of you guys know where I could get some Norma 232gr vulcan projectiles for the 9.3? Theye are an awesome wee projectile but haven't had much luck finding any.

A nice complete 9.3x62 set up ready for the BIG Bore shoot
