Thread: Anyone hunting with a 9.3x62

I just chronographed my various 9.3x62 ammunition on hand.
22" Blaser R93 barrel magna-ported.
Leupold MK4 1.5-5

PRVI 286 grain reloads 2250 FPS average

Lapua mega 286 grain Factory 1949 FPS average !!!!

Swift A-Frame 300 grain reloads 2126 FPS average

The purpose of this was to pick up some long lost data and work out the MIL corrections to be able to use the reticle of my Leupold MK4 1.5-5 SPR reticle scope.



The 9.3 is zeroed for 100m and I wanted to be know the values and hold over to be able to use the 2.5 MIL marks and clearly marked 5 MIL circle, 10 and 15 MIL marks.
Obviously this is a close range set up and mostly I just stick the circle over things and shoot.
But I would like to know where the projectile " might land " a little further out.
Its a nice light rifle to carry with the short barrel and big hole through it, its my lightest Blaser / barrel /scope combination by far ... so its lively !!

The factory Lapua mega's were astonishingly slow and noticeably softer to shoot.
I got 100 Swift A-Frame's cheap a few years ago and they are very accurate and seem to at least open well enough to get the job done despite being way over kill.

Has anyone got the numbers on the Factory PRVI 286 grainers that Gunworks are selling ?
They are so cheap that its not worth reloading.
