| Lorenzo, Well, can't find Ray, so I did a search of his posts (I KNEW he posted something on this) This quote: The 9.3x62 is fine if you can shoot it well, thats the criteria. To be strictly legal you must handload it pretty hot, but I don't think anyone has ever been checked on that one. I would suggest the 320 Woodligh softs and solids. My load is 56.5 grs of RL-15, for 2400 give or take a hundred FPS, according to barrel lenth.
The 320 soft will bust a shoulder and come to rest on the far side skin, with near 99 percent reliability...the solid will pass through every time. Perfect for herd shooting Buffalo.

and this quote: as to my loads, they are max in my gun, the cases last at least 9 loadings...I loaded them until I got a extractor mark, and backed off a grain and then loaded that same case 9 times, trimmed it twice and it was still good...thats all I can tell you. I do get a lot out of the 26" Lothar Walther barrel and it is a little faster than my other barrel....
My loads are 5 or 10 shot averages- chronographed) 56.5 grs. RL-15 320 Woodleigh soft or solid... 59 SAme 286 Nosler 2520 FPS 60 H414 250 Nosler Bal tip. 2700 FPS 57 RL-15 300 gr. Swift 2450 FPS 63 IMR-4350 250 BarnesX 2777 FPS
All the above were with Fed 215 primers and I recently changed to 210 and only lost about 12 FPS average.
ALL LOADS ARE MAX IN MY RIFLE, CUT 10 PERCENT AND LOAD UP TO YOUR RIFLES MAX
is all from the "9.3 and Cape Buffalo" thread back in August http://www.serveroptions.com/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=004410
