I picked up a box of 9.3mm BTs at a gun shop and when I went on line to order more, I can't find any. Did Nosler quit making the BT in this caliber?

I thought this would be a good bullet for my 9.3x57 for whitetail. The modest velocity shouldn't cause too violent of expansion that have been my experience with BTs in the past. Is this assumption correct?

long gone replaced by the 9.3mm accubond. Bought about 500+ way back when for about $12 a box of 50.

Accubonds will work well.

Brad,
Apparently you like the performance well enough to invest in them. How is the performance on game? If I can work up an accurate load quickly, I might be able to use the leftovers for a couple seasons or maybe pick up more.

My 9.3mm rifles include a 9.3x62mm and my own wildcat 9.3 Ashley which is just a 9.3 RUM it should be knick named 9.3 RUN since it kicks harder than a mule that just sat on a bear trap. I have not yet had the chance to take any game with either rifle. I really bought the bullets for price and practice since the 286 grn bullets aren't cheap. My buddies idea was to load a 250grn bullet with the same flight charactoristics as our 286 hunting load thus affording us more practice for less cash.

I wish Nosler would bring back the 250 BT. I think it would be great for lighter game and LOTS of practice. The cost of the 250 AB keeps me from practicing as much as I'd like.

Yeah, those 9.3mm 250 gr. Nosler BT's were a Hellva bullet. Nosler got that one right in their R&D department for sure. Their construction & delivered terminal performance has nothing to do with Varmint weight BT's, these are a good, stout bullet.

I've got a small stash remaining thanks to a really good Buddy (NevadaDan).

My all time favorite bullet in the 9.3x62 period.

Try some IMR-4320, 4064, 4350 or VVN-140; they all work fine, never did find a combination that didn't work well. The real Acid Test is with RL-15 however.

Oh, Yeah .... add a Lee Factory Crimp Die and crimp those bullet-oes real snug right to the top of the cannelure - works good!

The 250 gr 9,3 NBT may be the only really good NBT. Unfortunately, it was among the first to be discontinued.

Wish they'd bring it back. Good AND cheaper is unusual!

I found the 250 gr BT to be an excellent bullet in both the 9.3x62 and the 9.3x64. It was a tough bullet and I used it in the 9.3x64 on elk and it performed very well. Never recovered any bullets from elk (all were broadside pass through shots) but there was no indication of bullet fragmentation.I have found the Accubonds accept the same load as the BT, shoot to same spot and only cost twice as much ?? That was real progress .(only in Noslers profit column). I use accubonds in both my x62 and x64 because they just shoot that well and you don't always need the 286 or 300 gr slugs. If I ever run across some 9.3 BT's at a gun show etc I would pick them up in a heartbeat.

Why not let Nosler know we'd like them to bring it back, either here or

Good idea! Done.

The Speer .270 is a soft bullet and should be a dandy deer killer...The balistic tips were great and soft enough for deer aso I suppose the Accurbond will be a good bullets..

I like the 286 gr. Nosler on deer, its a bit hard and doesn't ruin much meat, but deer will run a ways, but the 9.3x62 leaves a good blood trail..
