Thread: 9.3x62 loading experience

My 9.3x62 came with empty cases and some Norma Alaska and Oryx 285 gr projectiles. I started with ADI 2209 as it produced lower pressure and I had plenty of it to work with. I worked up to 65.5 gr ( compressed ) for 2350 fps. All brands of 285 gr bullets were very accurate but the Oryx was the best by only a small margin with 1/2 inch groups at 100 yds when I did my part.

The Oryx is not needed but sure works well as do all the others for NZ game. With the performance of 2209 and Oryx bullets in this rifle I didnt test other powders with 285/6 gr. I am on call if the local African lions escape.This load will be the one used on them.

The Woodleigh 320 gr with 56.4 gr Vit N540 gets 2140 fps and shoots 1" low at 50 yds at the same sight setting.
