Thread: My 9.3x62...

...kicks the shit out of me.

Honestly, I thought I do recoil alright till now, but I suppose Im getting older. Anyway this bitch of the hunting forest will rise up and punch you in the face if you're inattentive. Sometimes, after the first two shots at the range, I can't hit a goddam thing. After six rounds I have a headache and want to go home.


It weighs 8.0 pounds exactly all up. It used to be Jakewire's rifle, but now I should shoot something with it because Owen would have liked that.

I could put a heavier scope on it. I could make it heavier by putting something in the stock. (Would you put it in the front or the rear of the stock? I assumed the rear, but it make more sense in the front. If I put more weight in the rear end - the Bitch will pivot faster and smack me in the head harder)


One could load it down I suppose, although I dont care to hobble things that way. At the moment I am loading 67 grains of 2209 behind a 285 grain PPU bullet for 2390 FPS. (I have another which is with 2207 and the same bullet at 2019 fps, which is noticably softer.)

What about lighter bullets - has anyone ever seen a 232 or 235 grain .366 bullet for sale anywhere?


I shoot it at the range as litttle as possible. I have taken it out for the roar last year, but the only thing I shot with it that trip was a rabbit. (It was a trophy rabbit.) Offhand its alright.
