I'm strongly considering getting a 9.3 before I go for the 450NE + rifle. The question is I have 700 + nosler Ballistic tips that I purchased for my 9.3 RUM project. Has anyone developed a load that works well in the Chapuis 9.3mm using these bullets if so can I get some details on it? Feel free to PM me if you don't want to post it on the open board. If I can get a gun to shoot this bullet well I might be swayed in the 9.3 direction.(Yes, I understand the cost of the bullets is nothing compared to the rifle but it would help to lean me in the 9.3mm direction).

Thanks

Brad

All the Chapuis's I have seen or heard of were regulated with 286 grn bullets. If you order one for you it might be ordered to shoot the 270 grn.

I'd sell/trade the 270's and get 286's myself.

Every DR is different so with an odd bullet weight like that, just because someone worked up a load for their DR, doesn't mean it would shoot in yours.
The only way would be to shoot it.

However, I know a few over here who have used 250gn bullets
as a light load for pigs, deer etc.

Unless your DR really doesn't like them, I would say you are likely
to get them working. And if not, you could definately get them going
in one barrel !!!

Gee willikins, you could always get a gun that allows you to regulate the barrels eg. a Tikka O/U. This lets you adjust the POI of the lower barrel, and is much cheaper than a SxS.

Brad,

I'll bet you can sell the 250 gr NBTs without any difficulty. They're no longer made, but are much tougher than most NBTs and make dandy hunting ammo for the 9,3x62.

I wouldnt even worry about it. Am sure you can find a load that would be respectable with the 250's and then just use them for off hand practice.
If that doesnt float your boat sell them and buy a bunch of 286 Privi's for practice.
