Help, I need loading data for the Nosler 250-grain Ballistic Tips for use in a 9.3x62. I am trying for a light load for my daughter, so that she can get used to her new elk/Africa gun. Dave One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know. - Groucho Marx | ||

I got this out of an article in Rifle Mag. #215 - September 2004 There was an article on all the 9.3s and I got this load out of it. ________________________________________ 250 gr Ballistic Tip - 56gr of Varget ________________________________________ It states velocity of 2500 fps but I don't have a chrono so I can't verify that. I have had good accuracy with this load. I shoot an old Mauser 98 Husqvana w/ a 24" barrel. Unfortunately 250 BT are discontinued. This should work well with the Accubonds when they come out next year(I hope). Lance Lance Larson Studio lancelarsonstudio.com | |||

We load our 250 gr. bullets with up to 63 gr. of IMR 4895. Start at 58 gr. and go up in 1 grain increments until you are getting pressure signs. I use Lapua cases and have some on their tenth firing and still have tight primer pockest. This is a load over 60,000psi but my rifles love it. square shooter | |||

You ask for light loads and are getting heavy loads.... See Handloader #219 pg.23 "Reduced Loads with Hodgdon's H-4895".....They state that Hodgdon developed the "60% rule" where you simply take the maximum H-4895 charge for any bullet and caliber for which it is used in the Hodgdon Manual, multiply by 0.60 (60%) and use the result for a reduced load.....You can of course use any charge between the 60% charge and maximum charge....Maximum charge of H-4895 listed in their lastest Annual Manual for the 9.3X62 with a Barnes X 250gr is 55grs.....60% X 55grs. = 33grs. reduced load starting load... For 38-55 type loads try 17 to 21 grs of 2400... If you try this please report back with your results...cheers~~~ | |||

My load is 45 grains of H4895 with the 250 grain ballistic tip. Not too accurate (1" groups at 50 yards) but you can shoot all day. I like to shoot at plastic jugs filled with water. I prefer this to a lighter load because there is less chance of double-charging the case. That is, if you put in a double charge, it will overflow the case. | |||

When I started working up light loads for my 9.3x62 I settled in on 32 gr of SR4759 pushing the Nosler 250 gr BT giving me about 2000 fps and a group size of just over 1 inch. The same charge moves the 286 gr bullets at about 1850 fps. Hope this helps. Life Member SCI &, NRA | |||

Thanks for the help. I had not heard of the 60% guidance for 4895, but it is consistent with the information that I have for reduced charge match loads in the .308 and .30-06. Dave One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know. - Groucho Marx | |||
