I have ordered cast bullets from Montana Bullet Works and Beartooth. Neither have a 9.3. Where do I get cast slugs for my 9.3 x 62 ?

Go to castboolits@gunloads.com. Scroll down to the group buy section. There should be a group buy going on for the 9.3 bullet mold. I believe it is a NOE mold and I have two, great molds and well worth the asking price. Frank

Here are the Boolitts I cast from the NOE mold.



... and my mold which is a twin cavity, one HP.

Some years ago, I was lucky to find an old but unused Lyman # 366408 mould. It's single cavity and casts a 245 g bullet out of Lyman nr. 2 alloy.

Aliveincc,
You might find a Lyman mold similar to Andre's on Ebay. They appear from time to to time. I think the group buy would be the best way to go, but I got a double cavity similar to Andre's on Ebay. It did take a couple years though until I finally got one at the price I was willing to pay.

Gentlemen, Thanks for the info. I am not a caster. I need slugs to load.

If I got a 9.3 mold it just might be enough to make me get back into casting again. Problem is, I haven't seen an H&I die of proper dimensions. Where are you guys getting yours from? What diameter are you sizing them to?

Me, I'd want a mold somewhere between 280 and 320 grains. What is the nomional weight of that NOE mold?

On the Cast Boolit Board look up Buckshot he make them for Lyman/RCBS and Star. I have 2 of his for my sizer in .461 and .368. His work is super and fairly fast. The bad is he will only make them in sizes that Lyman wont make. Clint

Thanks. If nothing else, the H&I will be handy for resizing lubed .375's down.

How many bullets would you want I had mountain molds cut one for a 250 grain gc and it works well let me know if your interested and I could send you a few to try. Lynn

Get some un-lubicated 0.358 cast rifle bullets. Bullet lubricant can be removed with boiling water. Paper patch them with two wraps of thin tracing paper. Final diameter will be 0.368". They shoot well in my 9.3x74R rifle. Several dead hogs would agree. Good luck.

Have the same mold as Code4 Got my 9.3x62 today and shot it too! At 50yds took 6rds to get close . the next 3 went into 1" group. started with 50grs of Varget and Wolf LRP Graff brass Think this is going to be fun Clint

If you want to pan or Alox lube(don't have lubesizer) then you can have Lee make a push thorugh sizer in .366-.367-.368 for $32 ea.+ shipping. They work great. I uses cast 338gc bullets and size them to .332 for my 8x56Hug. I have also downsized jacketed bullets with them. Jacketed bullets have some springback so I uses a .298 sizer to make .299 bullets from 125 gr .308 for a 7.35 Carcano. I have taken 158gr .357 SP to .329 in two steps useing my .332 as the 1st. step. They will seat GC's. I uses Imperial sizeing lub on jacketed bullets. Andre Mertens: what was the as-cast size of the bullets out of the Lyman 366408 mold?

Buffalo Arms makes and has in stock custom Lyman/RCBS sizing dies in the appropriate diameter for .366"

I have found that cast has to be bigger then a jacketed bullet. So with this and a some advice in mind I got a .368 sizer from Buckshot. Using my Zastasa lh I have been getting good groups and shot my buck with it this yr. Clint

Accurate Molds? Their web site has some listed in different weights.

Castboolits.com ..... NOE mold made to use .375 gaschecks ..... SAECO lube sizer 1-2 thou over slugged bore .... SPG lube .... Lyman #2 metal.... Trail Boss..... or any 35 Whelen cast load w/same bullet weight .... that's all you need to know.



Who else has a Savage 9.3, especially color coordinated to the target ?
