I have a new CZ550 LUX and am having a hard time finding reasonably priced ammo for it. I have friends who reload but are not familiar with this cal. What is a good load for this round for deer and for plains game up to oryx and kudu sized animals ? Which bullets are you finding good accuracy from in the 100 to 200 yard range ? Thanks.....eric | ||

Well, simply because of cost and availability, mostly I use the Speer 270 bullet and H414 powder. They seem to work well together, and in my rifle I get 2600 fps which is all I can use. Manual max load is 60 gr I believe. - Dan | |||

Eric, my suggestion would be a Alaska 286 gr or Oryx 286 gr from Norma. If you can get Norma powder over there, you�ll find some loads at www.norma.cc. The finnish www.vihtavuori.fi also have some good loads. The 9.3x62 is a big game classic for moose, bear, boar and deer here in Scandinavia. Power enough and still estimable recoil. You will love that rifle. Best regards, Fritz | |||

Based on a whole 1 deer a buddy shot with his Steyr in 9.3x62, I'd say, the 270 Speer is fine on deer & whatnot, but I'd use the Barnes-X (250 or 286), Nosler Partition (286), or Swift A-Frames (250 & 300, I think) on bigger critters. Oh, and Ray will take us to task if we don't mention the 320 Woodleigh. The 286 grain bullet made the 9.3x62's reputation, and I wish Hornady would produce a good 286 round nose for the cartridge. The Nosler 250 Ballistic Tip should be a dandy bullet for any shot on deer & such, and for lung shots on bigger things. The B-Tips over .30 caliber have a much stouter jacket than the 30-and-under sizes. BigIron | |||
