Damn it!!!!!!!!! Interestingly enough, they are 293gr TUG bullets. The interesting part is RWS claims 2430 fps from a 23.5" barrel. In their defence there is a silver coating on the bullets, possibly a lube of some sort.  That an '06 size case can launch a 293 gr bullet 120 fps slower than a factory H&H with a 300 gr bullet is amazing!!!!!!!!!! | ||

That bullet is not made for meathunting,but for stopping, its fine for various hunting. But for the 9,3x64 use Swift 259,300 grain and woodleigh 320 RN Soft /solid. That is a .375 in a standard receiver and it deserves the best bullets you can get. | |||

What in the world? Nickel plated steel jacket??? RWS, won't use it if it didn't work. But honestly, it sounds strange indeed. | |||

The RWS TUG bullet is not nickel plated steel. The jacket is mild steel covered with a soft gliding metal that is likely a tin alloy. They are designed for deep penitration and they work. | |||

366 If you need 9.3x64 brass or loaded ammo contact Ralf Martini @ Martini & Hagn. He may even have it in stock. | |||

Snowman, Thank you sir! I am resorting to loaded ammo as reloading dies are proving elusive! | |||

Have you tried contacting RCBS? They may have already done it as a custom order. They can make you most anything you want. "A cheerful heart is good medicine." | |||

...well they (RWS) claim it is   1. Harder and heavier tail core 2. Softer tip core 3. Torpedo tail 4. Tail groove 5. Sharp rim 6. Nickel-plated steel jacket TUG or UNI | |||

Why bother with expensive TUG? The Nosler Partition is easier to manufacture and is equal in performance. .375H&H TUG carries extra 886J at the muzzle (+520J @ 100m), and 1590J more with VM bullet(+1158J @ 100m).  With high $$$ and difficulty in finding quality Euro ammo in NA it makes little sense for an American to go with the .366.  | |||

.366 Torque: If there is not a restriction on shipping dies to Canada, I would be willing to pick up a set for you, and ship them. PM me if you are interested, and I will see what I can track down for you in the way of dies. Dave One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas.

Paolo, I don't know who you've been talking to, but everything you need for 9.3x62 AND 9.3x64 is readily available, including properly headstamped cases for the 64 from Huntington and Natchez to mention a couple. | |||

What does sensibility have to do with cart desire? The cart makes sense and I want it! Looking for brass and dies is a small price to pay. | |||

Mouse I didn't make my comment very clear. Nickel is quite a hard metal and would be very hard on the rifling if the outer coating on the bullet jacket was indeed solid nickel. The 293 gr 9.3 calibre RWS "TUG" bullets I have in stock have a steel jacket with a relatively soft gliding metal covering the steel. This outer metal could be a tin or zinc alloy. It can be scratched quite easily with a sharp object.The scratch is similar to one made on any other type of bullet with a copper alloy jacket. From the information you have provided it certainly appears they do put a nickel "flash" on the steel jacket. This would likely protect the steel jacket from rust. Norma used to use steel jackets as well. I believe they were called "tri-clad". A steel jacket with a protective layer of gliding metal on the inside and the outside. Thanks for sharing that information. | |||

There are some reloading dies and brass for sale now on the AR Classified... square shooter | |||

Gilding metal on steel jacketed projectiles used to be cupronickel, the same metal as most silver colored coins are made of. It's mercy, compassion and forgiveness I lack; not rationality. | |||

As much as I want that, I mean I really, really want it! Lawndart has changed my mind with the 9.3x70 Expert!! Anything else is like taking a sandwich to a banquet! | |||
