I'm building one in a argentine mauser 1909 and a Lothar Walther barrel of 26 inches.
What velocity I will be able to obtain with 250, 270 and 286 grains bullets?
I know that several relaoding data have been post in the past, but none from a 26" barrel.
I've some IMR 4895 powder.
Thanks

Lorenzo.

There are probably a zillion people that can answer you more correct than I, but this is what I came up with after a quick look in some of my books.

250 grs bullet ->770m/s
270 grs bullet ->740m/s
286 grs bullet ->720m/s

I believe these figures are safe, but for the record I don't own a rifle in this caliber, so I can't be sure.

Lorenzo,
I load my 9.3x62 very hot in a Mark X Mauser 98. I use H4895 which is suppose to be very similar to IMR4895. I believe this is an outstanding choice for this round.

I will not tell you what my max is because it is hot. However, my loads for the following weight bullets by manufacturer indicated is as follows:

250BT Nosler=2600
270 Speer SP=2500
286Partition=2400

I believe you can work up to these levels safely in a M98. This is too hot for Swedish 96's. Hope this helps. Ku-dude

With 58 or 59 grs. of RL-15 I get 2520 FPS in my 26" barrel with a 286 gr. Nosler...that long barrel will make a world of difference in a 9.3x62.

The Barnes manual gives 2512 FPS with a 286 gr. bullet and a healthy dose of H-414...

I get 2400 plus with a 320 gr. Woodleigh and RL-15.

I got over 2700 from a 26" with the 250nos.bt. I get about 60' less from my CZ 23.6". I haven't loaded anything else since for anything in the USA except brown/grizzly it will handle. I personally prefer my CZ, as for as handle etc. I think out to 400yrds and then some. At 2700' the 250nos.bt has over 2200 energy ftlb. If you are practiced at adjusting your scope it is easily a 400yrd. load. fws
