The new Nosler manual (#5) has loading info. Someone posted some data on an earlier thread in this forum - search for "Nosler #5 My Observations".

Toto.

Try a search in the forums.

I believe Mr. Atkinson published some loads a while back.
Saeed and his gang has also published some loads and tests in this caliber.

I love my 64. It's a very capable round in a standard length action.

ForestB/Magnar, I appreciate your info. I have two 9.3x62. I am thinking about turning the 26" barrel into a 9.3x64. I may have to buy a reamer since my smith doesnt have one. I am wondering if it is worth the cost vs leaving it a 9.3x62. I have pulled up some pretty good ballistic info on the "x64". And thanks again. fws

My experience is that in the 64 you have a little more to go with when using the heavier bullets from 285 to 300 grs.
It's much easier to obtain factory ammo for the 62, but I don't regreat building my 64. I bought a barrel from Lothar Walter chambered for this round.

The 9,3*64 is a very good cartridge! It delievers you the same energy as a .375H&H , by a bit more velocity.
The only thing is, that the choice of the .366 bullets is lower, than for the .375 Diameter.
By the way Brenneke invented the cartridge, to get a powerfull 9,3mm for large european and african game.
A riend of mine uses te *64 with great satisfaction. Loading datas are found by RWS, Vihtavuori.....

cheers

hey toto,
i u are interested in the available bullets,...this is for u:

some weeks ago, i started a thread concerning factoryloads for the 9,3*74R, so maybe this could be of interest for you, why i copy the article down here:
.....................................................Hey gazors,
after my last posting i get some requests about available 9,3mm bullets in germany. Because i know that the choice in USA isnï¿½t so big for the 9,3mm bullets, i thought this might could be of interest for all of you.
Except from the bullet producers that are listed below, Speer,Sierra..do have some too. But i guess these bullets are available in the states, so there is no need to buy them overseas.
And now the show stars
I looked in some reloading supply catalogues..., and the cheapest bullets are the Sellier and Bellot (S&B), i ï¿½m not quite sure where they produce them, but i think either in hungary or tchecheslowakia.
There are two different types and weights for the 9,3mm . I guess the lighter one is for the 9,3*72R. U know this cartridge? Itï¿½s the old german "Fï¿½rster Patrone" a not so powerfull 9,3mm cartridge.(Pmax=1800bar; a 193gr (12,51g) Softpoint ,V0=595 m/sec; E0=2213Joule)

Sellier and Bellot Bullets:
- 9,3mm ; (.364); 193grTeilmantel Flachkopf (soft flat nose) ; 100 pieces= 21,73 EURO, 500 pieces= 100,98 EURO, 1000 pieces 192,25 Euro .

- 9,3 mm ; (.366); 285gr. Teilmantel Rundkopf (soft round nose) ; 100 pieces = 19,60 EURO, 500 pieces = 89,48 Euro, 1000pieces = 170,77 Euro.

RWS .366 diameter:
226gr. (14,5g) Doppel Kern (DK) Bullet per 50 pieces = 36,35Euro
247gr. (16,0g) Kegelspitz (KS) Bullet -,,- 33,59Euro
258gr. (16,7g) H-Mantel Kupferhohlspitz -,,- 44,89Euro
285gr. (18,5g) Vollmamtel (solid) -,,- 44,89Euro
285gr. (18,5g) Teilmantel (softpoint) -,,- 26,43Euro
293gr. (19,0g) TUG -,,- 44,84Euro

the cheaper line of RWS is called GECO, and they do have a bullet in 9,3mm too:
.366 diameter 255gr 16,0g TMR (softpoint) 50 pieces 15,70 EURO

And Blaser do have a 9,3mm Bullet too, the CDP (controlled deformation process)
9,3mm 18,5 g 50 pieces 48,57 Euro

And Norma has some 9,3mm bullets too:

232 gr (15,0g) TM PPC Vulkan 100pieces 54,20Euro
231 gr (15,0g) solid spire -,,- 35,28Euro
286 gr (18,5g) ORYX -,,- 65,45Euro
286 gr (18,5g) Alaska 50 pieces 28,10Euro

So i hope that will help, if u are interested in the different types of bullet take a look to these websides:

http://www.norma.cc

http://www.blaser.de/english/produkte/accessories/munition.htm

to take a look at the TIG and TUG Bullet (RWS=Brenneke side)
http://www.brenneke.de
=>choose english language,products,rifle bullets..click on TIG or either TUG to see them.

So if u do have any further questions, you know how to reach me.
cheers and Waidmannsheil
