In Guns and Ammo's 2002 anual they have a page on foreign cartridges. For the 9.3x62 mauser they list a 293 grain TUG bullet at 2515 ft/sec at the muzzle and muzzle energy of 4110 ft/lbs. But who is the ammo maker(not listed) and what exactly is the TUG? Is it a RN or spitzer?

Try this link: www.brenneke.de/brenneke_engl/web/new_prod2.html and choose "Rifle bullets"

The ammunition is loaded by RWS, a big german ammomaker. (Sorry, I don�t know the URL.)

Best regards,

Fritz

ALF,

interesting information about the TUG. However, the brass pin isn�t used in today�s version. It has just a simple lead tip.

Another remarkable feature of this bullet is that it isn�t made for expansion. On the contrary, the purpose of the construction is to reduce mushrooming and to increase penetration. Many German bullet fashions have this purpose, as the TIG, the H-Mantel and the Doppelkerngeschoss.

Best regards,

Fritz
