It's taken me 5 years but I've just got round to shooting my 9.3mm 250gr X bullets. I've got an accurate load but can't find the BC on the barnes website as X's have now been dropped.

Anyone able to help out?

Sorry, wasn't shooting my 9.3 back then and so far I've only shot the Partitions.

The BC is .420 (ex QuickLoad)
Excellent bullet in the 9,3.
I know some people are pushing it over 2,500 fps.
However Barnes recommends a max load of 2,472 fps.
I am getting 2,400 fps with 58 grains of S355.
Barrel length = 23.6"

What is your load and the velocity you are getting?
Also what is the accuracy like in your rifle?

Warrior,

Thanks for this.

I am getting excellent accuracy using 54.5gr IMR 3031 in Lapua brass with WLR. MV is 2,450fps
