Dave Bush9.3X74R Load Data
For anyone interested, I dropped a note to Johan Loubser at Accurate/Ramshot powder to get some 9.3X74R load data. I shoot a lot of RamShot Big Game and I was wondering if he could provide me with some loads for this cartridge with Big Game. Here is what he sent me:
Caliber: 9.3x74R.
Barrel length: 24”
Powder: Ramshot – BIG GAME®.
Bullet weight: 286-293 grains.
Start load: 53.0grains (2075 – 2175 Ft/p/sec)
Maximum load: 59.0 grains (2300 – 2400 Ft/p/sec).
Powder: Accurate -- 4064®.
Bullet weight: 286 grains.
Start load: 52.0 grains (2100 – 2200 ft/p/sec)
Maximum load: 56.5 grains (2300 – 2400 Ft/p/sec).
NOTES:
It’ important to note that SAFETY is our prime concern therefore we strongly recommend.
1. TO ALWAYS BEGIN LOADING AT THE RECOMMENDED MINIMUM “START” LOAD and develop loads in 2% increments towards the MAXIMUM load.
2. CAUTION: Beware of double charging if the loading density is below 50% of the available volume.
Examples:
Ø Most Handgun caliber/powder combinations as well as
Ø A-5744 with reduced loads for rifles.
3. If possible, measure the velocity and correlate with our data.
