Does anyone manufacture 9.3x62 ammunition with suitable projectiles for Buffalo?
I use hand loads but a mate is happy to just purchase factory ammo.
Regards.

Barnes Vor-Tx with a 286 grain TSX FB bullet should work well.

Norma load the 9,3x62 with 286 grain Swift A-Frame
and also load 9,3x62 with their own 270gr Solid.

Thanks guys, that's great.

Adam I wouldn't mind using RWS 293gr. UNI (TUG) - accordingly - or Blaser's 286gr CDP.

I'll second the Blaser CDP as a buffalo bullet. It shoots very accurately out of my double rifle in 9,3x74R and in my 9,3x62 rifles and I used it for 2 seasons drive hunting. However, I found it so hard that most of the time it failed to expand in roedeer and even in sizable wild boars, so I stopped using it. OTOH, I know a professional hunter who operates in Tanzania and swears by the CDP for buffalo, getting excellent if not full penetration on broadside shots. He also told me that, except on spine shots, recovered bullets held together.

Any info on Sako's Hammer head bullet? Suppose to be bonded core.

Woodleigh Hydro`s in the new Federal loading. End of story.

I was told the Lapua 286 grain bullet is stout and good for buffalo. I've only used it on large thin skinned game and it performed much like a Swift.

umm a 286-300 gr cast bullet will hammer a buffalo just fine.
probably kill the one behind it too be careful.

You also have Norma 325 grain Oryx as loaded ammunition.A bit soft but works.

Wonderful on Eland etc.

What do you mean by "cast" bullet?
I have very few shoot through's with the 9.3.

Sako hammerhed has mecanical bonded core, good for moose soft for buffalo.

Get anyone to load woodleigh for you!

Hornady and Nosler also load factory ammo for the 9.3x62.
