Hi,

Some questions on 9.3 bullets:

(1) Midway accidentally sent me some 320gr. Woodleigh PP softs, when I ordered 286gr Woodleigh RN. I was going to send them back, but I was thinking maybe I could work a load up for them. My Chapuis regulates with a mild load of 54.0gr of IMR4064 (I am working on a 4831 load), at about 2,200 fps. I'll have to load up for the 320s, but I might, just might, if I work carefully work up a load that regulates.

What do you think?

(2) Not wanting to start any fights

Are those Northfork bullets that everyone is raving about safe to shoot in double rifles? I was looking arround their site and I was thinking about ordering some 286grs. But they seem to have "mono" metal base.

Just curious.

Thanks!

Before all else, be armed.

I have shot some Buffalo and quite a bit of other stuff with the 320 Woodleigh in my 9.3x62 and at 2450 they worked like a charm, at 2200 probably....you should be able to work up a load for your double..and yes the Northforks are OK in most modern doubles as far as I know I shoot them in my 470 searcy and I shot them in my Army Navy 450-400 and my Jefferys 450-400..

A Woodliegh or a North fork bullet is always an excellent choice...

They are a monometal base but the grooves significantly reduce pressures. Drop Mike @ NF an e-mail, he can give you his expert opinion. I would certainly give the Woodleigh heavies a try though, sounds like a good buff. bullet.
