What is the overall weight range for the 9.3? I'm thinking of Makarov bullets for cat's sneeze as well as the biggest, toughest ones for large bears . PAK | ||

Don't know about the low end of the weight range, but, I think I saw Ray post something about 320 grain Woodleigh's. R-WEST | |||

Hawk make 9.3 bullets from 200gr. up to 320 gr. | |||

Guess I can't spell bullet. Anyway, 320 sounds like on the tail of the 375 H&H. I remember seeing 286 gr in some European writings. I've been extremely interested in a .358 Win. but if the Savage deal falls through then I will look at the CZ American, the CZ fullstock, or rebarreling an older Ruger with the tang safety to 9.3. I may even chamber any of those guns in the 64mm version. I haven't decided on that detail. I would have to decide if I want to be able to case form from .30-06 or have to buy more obscure brass. The 9.3 shouldn't be that hard to find components for. I had thought about the .358 for a long time. I have swaging dies for the .358 lead bullets. That made it look good. But the 9.3 will not be any harder to find if I buy swaging dies. Pak | |||

I tried makarovs 95gr XTPs but then went and used a filler and marked the chamber. I gave up but it showed early promise with OK accuracy at 50m. You will have tremendous difficulty seating. All the seating stems are far to short, it is also very difficult to seat straight with such a short bullet. I suspect a custom made seater stem and red dot would do the trick. | |||

Norma Vulkan 232 grs ____ great reputation on smaller game ( = deer ) 232 FMJ for practice ( or self defense ? ) 247 0r 262 grs RWS bullets - KS and H Mantel 286 grs Solid ( FMJ ) RWS 286 grs Sellier & Bellot SP 286 grs RNSP PMP 286 grs Lapua ??? SP with very blunt nose, seated very far out in factory ammo. That tip about Mak�s: I will try one of those Lee moulds!! That was a good one! Hermann | |||

Ray, I thought the Nosler BT was 250 grains??? The cheapest bullets for practice and eventually small game: S & B Norma FMJ Speer Hermann I sure wish somebody would make a good mould in .367 with GC and flatter point. | |||

AHunter, your right, thanks for the heads up... I also recently got some 230 gr. GS Customs HV monolithic H.P.'s for my 9.3x62's, should cook at near or at 3000 FPS...we'll see. Also some FN solids to poke at Buff. | |||

Lately I`ve been shooting the Speer 90gr gold dot mak bullets over 26 gr. of aa5744,at 100yds they group with my regular hunting load (250 nosler b.t. over 58 gr. rl-15),most groups are well under 1" with them,and no filler is used,I also tried the 90gr bullets with red dot but not much success.the things we do when we have too much time on our hands.Hopefully they won`t be too destructive for small game season. | ||
