| What do you intend using them for? A tad Heavy in the -62 imo, but Perfect in a -64 for short and medium range.
I myself haven't used anything heavier than 286grs in the -62. Worked perfectly on larger moose, blue wildebeast, Kudu, Oryx and such.

Hey Hey metric,, I was thinking of ordering some to swage down to .358 for us in my (soon to be in my hands) 35 Gibbs.

| If I remember right, the 35 Gibbs could easily be the ballistic twin to 9,3x64. This bullet will work great  M |

| I have tried the 320gr Woodleighs in my 9.3X62 and got about 2250 fps with Varget (AR2208). I have never hunted with it but I would not use it for more than 100 meter shots. Ganyan who has a lot of experience with culling & hunting in Africa does not like the 320grs for buffalo & prefers 286gr bullets for better penetration.

No doubt this is with the soft nose as the 320grn fmj has fantastic penetration |
