IanD325gr Norma in the 9.3x62
Just ordered some and wondering if anyone else has used them in the 9.3?

metricWhat 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.

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

NakihunterI 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
