Hello all.

Are there some who use the 9.3*82R, I think it was Nimrod who had the caliber.
What was it loaded to? Brass around today?

An interesting old R caliber for break open guns.


Cheers all

I never heard of it, but I'm sure someone will be along to tell us it is better than the Whelen. Wink

According to my copy of Cartridges of the World it is one of a line of old 1890's cartridges only distinguished by varying length. Originally blackpowder loadings they were only fully adequate for deer-size game (their quote). They compare it to the old .38-55 in performance.

Why is the 9.3 x 82R better than the 38/55 Big Grin stir jumping

Another pencil cartridge with modest performance. I imagine it is very difficult to find brass for this one....then you put powder in with a shovel. Smiler I know more than a few older German hunters that still swear by these 19th century slow moving "freight train" cartridges..and in the woods up close, I'm sure they are very effective.

Thanks. As you say, it is a woods caliber, short range. But, thats ok, I mean, that was the idea behind the double, drilling and single shot rifles back then. Woods, thick, hunting, close range. Exciting.

Like to know what it was loaded to. At 9.3*74R levels?

Not really close to the 9.3 x 74. I believe the velocities were in the 1600 fps range with a fairly heavy lead bullet.


"Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson.

Phillip B Sharpe said in his second volume of complete guide to handloading that it (9.3x82R or 360 nimrod) was loaded by RWS at the time to 1640 fps with a 193 grain bullet with pressures at about 33,000 pounds.

As far as brass availability he said " the guns will not stand modern loadings, and the problem of lathe turning cases is not worth the effort"
