300gr A-frames in 9.3x64
Has anyone used this combination? Any recipe using H4350? I have used this powder with 286gr Partitions, but not with the heavier bullets. Thanks, Bob

I use the 300grn Swift A frames in my 9.3x62s with great results and would think they would be perfect from the 9.3x64B.
Nick Harvey's Reloading Manual has indicated minimum load with 293grn bullets 66grns of the Australian AR2209 powder at 2320FPS.
I am not sure but the AR2209 is either IMR or Hodgdon 4350 . This must be confirmed ..

HI.
From Swift's Reloading manual :
H-414 = Min.60,0gr - Max.65,5gr
Varget Min.54,9gr - Max.59,0gr
RL 15 Min.56,7gr - Max.61,0gr
RL 19 Min.68,8gr - Max.74,0gr
IMR 4064 Min.55,8gr - Max.60,0gr
IMR 4895 Min.55,3 - Max.59,5

I use Varget 58,5gr = 2320 fps. and good accuracy.

VFR1 I have used the 300 gr A frames but find 4350 a little too bulky. I use 4320.

Thanks Snowman. I think Ray uses 67gr of 4320. I'll will start 10% down and go from there as he loads on the warm side. Bob

Okay, I loaded up 5 of the 300gr A-Frames to the same OAL as I use with 286gr Partitions, 3.36in. Due to the ogive of the heavier bullet, I had to reduce the OAL to 3.15in. Otherwise, the bullets would wedge into the lands and pull out of the case when cycled through the action. For you guys that have used the 300gr A-Frames, did you have this problem?
Thanks, Bob
