Barsness says Varget is THE powder for 250s in the 9.3x 62.

I stick to Varget (AR2208).

Re15 & N150 also work but Varget is better.

Barsness also got good results with Ramshot powders. We do not get them here in NZ.

I have been using Ball C2 for my 9.3x62. I get good accuracy and I like the smell when it burns.

I use Varget with 250 grain Acdcubonds. Works really well!

Thanks. I was looking at the Real Gun data, but wasn't sure if the Barnes was close enough to the GMX to use the data.

What would you suggest as a good starting charge for Varget and OAL? My rifle is a Zastava (Remington 799)

You might look up Mule Deer,s 9.3x62 data for a reference point, if I remember correctly, he run,s 60.5 grains of Varget with the 250 Noslers... That being said, I,'ve been using a standard load of 57 grains for 250s,and 286s of most persuasions for a few years. Not the screamingest, fastest, gnarlyest, rootin tootinest bad ass load on the block, but pretty easy on the gun and user..

F.Y.I, the Nosler manual say,s 52.5-56.5 grains Varget for the 250 Accubond..

Varget, RL-15, RL-17, and H414 are the best powders I have used..I got the most velocity with RL-17. I strive for 2600 to 2700 FPS in my rifle and use the powder/bullet combination that gives me the most accuracy.
