Has anyone tried the Winchester metric ammunition. Specifically in 9.3x62 ?

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

All I have ever seen was 6.5x55 in the power points...I want to say 140gr? I could be wrong though.


If you think every possible niche has been filled already, thank a wildcatter!

I haven't tried their loaded metric ammo in many different chamberings, but have been using their 8x57 brass for the last 60 years or so. (I got an good supply in the old 25-round boxes full from a gun store which closed down.... I found their brass preferable to everything else I've used except RWS and/or DWM up until about 15 years ago. These days I also like both Prvi Partisan and Lapua.

I've tried the 6.5x55 and the 7.62x54R. Both gave excellent accuracy with velocity and psi readings (Oehler M43) being excellent. Not tried the 9.3 but would suspect it to be good also.

Their 7x57 145 gr. Power point has been very accurate in two rifles and decently accurate in the third. The only problem is it's one of their "seasonal" cartridges. Frowner Mad

I searched their entire website and found no reference to 9.3x62 ammo?
Where have you heard about it and do you have a product number?
If Winchester is making the ammo I'd like to have the brass!

Hey Chas help me out.
I just went to the Cabela's website and when I search the site only 4 items come up under "9.3x62", none of them are Winchester its Hornady brass, ammo, shell holder and case OAL guage.
How do I find it?
I know I'm an idiot but help me out here maybe a Cabela's item number or something.
Thanks

I searched the Winchester site again too and no reults pop up for "9.3x62"
They make it tough for dummies like me to find it!

Ok First from there main web site go to "shooting" then select ammunition. at that window select " see more". then scroll down to 9.3x62 and you will find the option to select either Hornady or Winchester metric..
Not easy to find the first or second time. When I went to the site a few min. ago I ended up where you were whith the selection of Hornady ammo or brass.. This should help, if not I wil walk you through over the phone.

Thanks
I found it using your directions.

I'd still like to be able to find it on the Winchester website but only because I'm stubborn!
Wonder who makes the bullets for them?
