9,3x62
I�m looking for loading data for Swift A-frame 300 grain bullet for 9,3x62.
If possible with Norma or Vihtavouri powder.
Does Swift make the A-frame in 286 grains?

HI MONZ,

GOOD LUCK,
RICHARD

Ray is the expert for 300 grainers in 9.3. IIRC the 286 grs has a respectable sectional density, too. I will start with 286 grs anyway, I need a load with Partition for the big stuff. If the Nosler Part is too tough for lesser game, I try 250.

What do you need the 300�s for? Dinosauriers?

Have fun! Hermann

Ray likes hunting wooly mammoths & mastodons, so finds the 320 Woodleigh to his liking.

Actually, John Taylor was effusively complimentary to the 310 grain .358 bullet in the .400/350 Rigby in "African Rifles and Cartridges". He went so far as to say that he'd be happy finishing his career with the .400/350 as his only medium bore.

The 320 is to the 9.3's what the 310 is to the .358's.

I use only RL-15 in the 9.3x62 and lots of it. The 286 Nosler is a very good killing bullet in the 62 as is the 320 Woodleigh and all the woodleighs for that matter...

Its hard to find a bullet that will not work in the 9.3x62 with its relitively modest velocity, except in my case as I load the hell out of mine...the 270 Gr. Speer is apt to come undone, but the rest are fine...

About 58 to 59 grs of RL-15 for the 286 and 300 grain bullets and 56.5 or a bit for the 320 Woodleigh. Start low and work up..I have not found another powder that is suitable as yet..but have not tried the V or N powders.
