9.3x62 Load?

[retrieverman]

I load for my 9.3x62 and x74, and using PRVI 285 gr bullets and excluding the initial brass cost, my loads cost me about 40 cents per shot. For me, it is well worth loading my own.

Have you tried AR2206H with anything other then the 270gn pills?

I have loaded the Tug's the Hydros the 250gr woodleigh and the 286gr with that powder mate works fine don't need as much to get the speed hits hard and with the blaser barrels very accurate with them and not much playing around you can get them all in a cup at 100 meters.

Am I remembering correctly that you use the 250g Woody RNSP on sambar? Any bullets recovered?

I have only tried them on Fallow last week and that was the only one that I recovered. The rest took off somewhere I left it sitting in the tree where we cut the deer up But it mushroomed nicely and didn't lose much if any at all. A few years back a mate shot a spiky Sambar with one up the ass and one in the side with 250gr woodleigh's out of his 338mag good shots but the deer ran. I tracked it and it seen me and took off like it had some outstanding warrants or something. I let a 300gr woodleigh out of my 338mag go and it hit the deck. I told him to go the 300gr and he did for a bit but was Impatient with load development and went back to the 250gr's must like walking and losing deer or something like that. I would always go the tug on sambar. Guy's I know and the guru have been using them for many many years they try new stuff then go back to them. I think the Tug would be an unreal pill on Buff.

Most wonderful caliber

You can load

156 grains 10 grams to 325 grains for angry things

So versatile

I have tried varget 4350 and there is virtually no need for load development at all

[Gun Barrel Ecologist]

Interesting, as Varget is what we know as AR 2208

[Londonhunter]

I am sorry but in my part of the world I only know of varget as being a suitable powder for the 9.3

For you guys in Australia the 268gr Woodleigh Soft would be my bullet of choice for the big stuff, backed up by 286gr Woodleigh Solids.

They have worked great in my 9,3x74R.

If you want a more pointed bullet the 286gr Nosler Partition is a great choice as well.

Woodleighs make a great projectile in my 338winmag with a 300gr snrn I have never lost a sambar or had to go look for one regardless of shot placement they hit bloody hard. But for the 9.3x62 I know the RWS Tugs have the wood over them still and my 1st shot on sambar will be the tug. As for Fallow I have tried Tug, Hydros and the 250gr and the 250gr worked the best. The tugs well i may as well used a hand grenade on them, the Hydros the same but the woodleigh 250gr work very well and the projectile was recovered. It just comes down to the came you hunt and what works best. A good mate was using the 250gr woodleighs in his 338winmag and main times I told him to go to the next size up and after 2 deer run off and had to look for them he went the 300gr. However he is a bit of an impatient person and needed to put a new stock on his rifle with out properly fitting it the rifle will not get a good grouping now with the 300gr so his gone back to the 250gr.

Hi since you are located in Australia, may I be rude to ask how much are retail price for hydrostatic stabilised woodleighs ?

We are being charged a fortune here in England

These are wonderful bullets and I wonder if itis at all legal for autralia gunships to post them to us in England ?

Londonhunter there not that cheap out here as well. if you go to gun shows or Deer hunting meetings and the guy that makes them is there you might pick them up for $40 a pack of 20. But at gun shops anywhere between $50 and $60+ for a pack of 20. They have made them for every cal but will most likely never release most of them. The 22lr and the 243 might of been worth a look at.

This might be a bit OT, but did anyone try loading subsonics for 9.3x62?
I'd use Woodleigh 320 Grain Weldcore Round Nose Soft Point bullets and Lapua brass.

[Londonhunter]

I like the way you put it

I have a shooting buddie and since retirement got the subsonic bug

Even though the twist does not support it he is working on a subsonic load for his 9.3 with 325 grain

I must show his your post he will be on the floor in no time

[icebug]

Blaser's twist (1:14.2) should stabilize that bullet, therefore I believe it could be a pretty accurate and effective round at ranges up to 100 meters.

LMK what your buddy says.

yep 19gr of trail boss with a 293gr Tug or uni classic going at about 1050fps no kick at all
