I have some 9.3 286 gr woodleighs and Nosler partions. This rifle was set up for the 286 gr norma oryx. What powder and loads can you suggest?

Thanks JD

JD,
sorry you are not getting any response to your question!
I my self have not shot those two out of my Chapuis,use the search feature(find) at the top left corner,& see what comes up.

From the International Big Bore Cartridge Load Data Collection:
For the 9.3x74 with 286gr Bullet.
Nosler Reloading Guide 5th Edition - IMR 4350 Start 60.5gr Max 64.5gr

Thanks guys, I was hopeing some one who has a chapuis might get me closer.

I use 65 gr of IMR 4831 with the 286 gr Nosler Partition, 286 Woodleigh softs and solids.

Start with 63 grains and work up.

I have used these loads in NA Canada and Zimbabwe with excellent results.

They also shoot great in my Blaser D 99 Duo.

Thanh you NE450 #2 .Souinds like a good place to start.

N E 450 No2,

Have you by chance used the North Fork Softs or Cup Point Solids in your Chapuis?

JD,

I chrono'd 4 of the Oryx loada and got 2360 fps at my altitude of 6400'.

RWS cases, Fed mag primers and 56.0 grains of R- 15 allowed me to duplicte the factory velocity with your two bullets of choice.

Thanks Wy
Do you use fillers with the 9.3x74r.

JD

There is no need for fillers in 9,3x74R, if you find a need go to a slower or less dense powder.

Mike at NF does not recommend using his softs in double rifles at this time as they have a solid section behind the lead that is full diameter.

I have used his Solids in my 450 No2. They are great bullets.

I have not tried them in my 9,3 yet.

The Solids are designed so the shank of the bullet does not touch the barrel, only the grooves of the bullet do.
