I've ordered some 286g Prvi Partisan semi-spitzers in 9.3 cal from Graf and sons for my CZ 550 American. Does anyone have any reports from the range (accuracy) or field reports on game with them? Any favorite loads? thanks.

Buttstock I hope you get some answers I have just ordered some of these they are listed in a local importers catalouge but as yet no luck these bullets and cases are sold here under the Highland name I have used there 303 bullets and while the accuracy isn't as good as some other bullets there performance on game has been excellent

I don't have any hunting experience with this load but here are my range results.

I'm VERY happy with the accuracy of these bullets considering their modest price at Graf's.

Post this in the European Hunting forum. They use Prvi Partizan way more than we do. Hope this helps, Okie John.

Thank you for your informative post. I'm looking forward to heading out to the range.

What size shellholder does the 9.3x62 take? The same as a 30.06? I've received some verbal feedback it takes a slightly large shell holder. Input requested.

Thanks again.

Most of the time you can use the #3 shell holder but there will be the occasional tight fit. I purchased a #11 for some oversized 7x57 brass I purchased this fall and it seems to work quite well for the 9.3x62

Try Lapua 286 grs load with Mega bullet, then let�s talk about accuracy ...
