Looking good like the stock shape and also has some good fiddles and grain running thought there!

Well bugger me, there`s plenty of hope for me then with my Sharps in 45-70, 420 gr, 70grs 3f black powder. Just have to wait a week for the smoke to clear to see if I hit anything, :thumbsup: , 100mts at the range , don`t think the goats will like it. Cheers, Homebrew.357.
Attachment 55824, Ok at the range, but hunting, it`s 12-1/2 lbs,:XD:, have made a sling for it.
NO,!! If I did that the yank`s would shoot me. As backup and to stop my arm breaking will be taking my little .3030 bush gun, 'sudden death". takes no prisoners. Homebrew.357.

Looks like your dog knows how to shoot cats:XD:
I shoot a CZ550 Full Stock in 9.3x52. I handload my own 286gr loads. Everything I have shot has been a one shot kill, and I love the rifle and caliber.

I put the 9.3x64B to work this afternoon.
Can any of you other 9.3x62 users advise me what the drop figures are ( real world from actual use ) for your 286 / 300 grain loads and a 100m zero ?
I though I should use it more often as my mates are well geared up to take any long shots so can handle anything within 300m with the 9.3
Usually have my Leupold MK4 1.5-5 scope on it which has a SPR reticle so there are plenty of options for hold over marks at longer range like the bottom of the large circle and the 10 and 15 mil marks below that.

Its a great we scope and the SPR circle is ideal for just covering an animal evenly and knocking a big hole it.
What's your load/muzzle velocity.
My open sight Mauser with a 286gr doing a leisurely 2200fps has about 23" drop at 200yds from a 100yd zero.
I found 10 once fired 9.3X62 Cases at the Range today.
Free to the first person who can post a picture of Alison Holst outside the Kitchen or Steve Parr with a vehicle in the background.
That sako on trade me has caught my eye a few times!
i wonder how much of his coffee makes it past that moustache

9.3 goddies, just finished installing rear lyman sight and .410 front sight,
currently loading 20 rounds of 9.3 x62 lapua brass with 57.5 gr varget and a 270gr speer soft point.
lt us know how the load goes please. I'm using 2209 , accurate enough but having trouble getting enough in the case
using 286gr hornady.
56gr 2208 with a 286gr Prvi gives 2260ish in my Mauser.
The Sika stag shot last week with 9.3x64B was 66 gr AR2208 and 270 gr Speer. High spine about 4" of back steak and backbone missing could still eat up to the big hole. Just a light plinking load at 2540 fps.
:thumbsup:
The 9.3 x 62 is very close in power and performance to the 35 Whelen, which is a proven Elk killer. In fact, it's not far behind the .375 H&H in power! It's an old cartridge that we don't see much here in North America but it was very popular in Africa. I believe Norma makes new head stamped brass and possibly some others too but you can make you own easy enough by necking up 30-06 brass and trimming back to the proper length. It's generally recommended to expand the neck to .375 and then reduce to .366, or 9.3 mm's. RCBS makes dies for this cartridge.
Welcome EdvinJones, hang around a bit and further the discussion, lapua 9.3x62 brass is pricey but fairly easy to get here.
Anyone know off hand if the 9.3 × 62 will fit in a standard long action, specifically a Brno ZKK600 action?
There is one on TM with a butchered, shot out barrel for a couple hundy and i am toying with the idea of graphing it and rebarreling it, of course with a set of folding leaf express sights and barrel band sling swivel.
Would make a nice sibling for my 7 × 64 ZKK.

I am no expert or even a journeyman, but it looks like it should.

Yeah, I am also thinking it should, bolt face and mag should be similar too so minimal mods should be needed.
Let's see what the Brno goes for, maybe my next project!

Looks like they actually made one, so should work!
Even better, anyone have a factory one? [emoji41]
Had the 9.3x62 out today, getting ready for a hunt in next few days,
New iron sights installed, still a bit high, so will knock out the .410" sight and put on the .445 tonight, or in morning.
Varget 57.5 gr, with a CCI 200, lapua and a 270gr Speer, pretty happy with results, standing offhand at 25m,:cool:
Tried a few loads of BLC-2, not quite as good, but was getting a bit beat down from recoil after a few sight adjustments,
a 7lb 9.3x62, is pretty lively when you light it off.:o

Where are you guys sourcing most of your reloading material? (bullets/powder/cases) Here or overseas?
All here. Gunworks have Prvi 286gr RN projectiles for about $90 a 100. A few places have lapua brass Gunworks, workshopinnovations
As above
Yeah, cheers Muzza, it's looking promising, been doing it bit of research and it should handle the 9.3x64 Brenneke too.
Will keep looking for a suitable donor, that one went for way too much!
I prefer the straight stock too so probably for the best.
Man, the old brass is pretty pricey, gotta bite the bullet though I guess (pardon the pun) heh heh heh
My 9.3x64B RWS brass was $70/box of 20. I have close to 100 as some came with the rifle, it will out last me (very good quality).
I have some brass, dies and projectiles here, I was thinking about putting on TM... hadnt quite made up my mind if I could part with it?? But not getting the use at the mo so sure there's a good home out there
