Thread: Who's Taking their 9.3 Mauser For the Roar?

286 grain PPU - at the muzzle:

67 grains 2209 = 2405 fps
57.5 grains 2206H = 2381 fps
57.5 grains IMR4320 = 2232 fps
48.0 grains 2207 = 2216 fps

All are max loads (Over max for the 2206 load), but I consider it a 60Kpsi cartridge, unlike the books which hold it lower.

All of them except for the 2207 load generate stout recoil. Actually to be honest it kicks like a draft horse. She hits you like heartache. She kicks like you owe her money. She kicks like something out of a fucking fairy tale.

What brass are you using for the 2209 , I have to long drop to get 65.3 in and 286gr hornady loaded on top is pretty crunchy and I often seat twice. Oal 3.27 but I use .37 comparator at 2.627/8
I'd like to use 2208 but currently don't have enough to run another calibre with it , should have more coming before long hopefully.
I'm using Lapua brass
