X64B 285gr Prvi bullet at 90yds photo shows exit hole and minimal blood shot meat as usual with the 9.3.

That's what my groups look like. Mine shoot that way with all 286 gr load combinations tested so far.

Likewise Akaroa never had one stop in an animal. Those samples all recovered from the same medium soft damp volcanic soil. The Oryx retained all most all it's weight and mushroomed most the Speer 270...

My 1952 Husky has the beechwood stock and no cross bolts it's fine.

The 9.3x64 on a military Mauser has the cross bolt and came with a Williams peep but I would prefer a steel sight.

Yep go for it they work so much better than the paper ballistics indicate. Jakewire my Husky shoots just the same as yours with that 65+gr load not the fastest but all bullets touching at 100. I will...

It has a 9 in it so it must be good.

The Nosler 250 gr AB at 2510 fps makes a decent crater.

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).

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...

I put the 9.3x64B to work this afternoon.

Well done Stug what bullet were you using and how did it perform?

It sold in about 3 weeks. The one at the Outdoorsman may be the same one as it comes with dies, projectiles and cases. If it is, the reason its for sale again so soon is that a special rifle the guy...

If anyone is interested H&F Rotorua have a new Tikka 9.3x62 $1199.00. Dies and 285gr oryx projectiles in stock too.

Tried the Woodleigh 9.3 320 gr RN SP at 2230 fps, penetrated 580 mm into virgin soil thats about 200 mm more than the .375 Hornady 300 gr RN SP at 2620 fps did into the same dirt bank.

Speer 270 gr at 80 yds today "just because"

Was that the Norma Alaska or the Oryx I have both but have not yet used the 286 Alaska on animals as the Oryx does such a great job.

A good pad will make all the difference 31 ft/lbs is not that much and the body and brain will get used to it with more use. The recoil wont come hunting with you anyway, it does like to be with me...

LJP I think your memory is correct it also sat in a Rotorua shop for 3 yrs. The price was a bit high and most hunters had never ever heard of the caliber. It came with dies, projectiles and loaded...

Very nice. It looks like there's plenty of history with that one.

We need a picture or two Stug.

Yes I've had it with 9.3x64. The dreaded donut. Brass flows into the neck and needs to be reamed out, do it before resizing. I use a 9.5mm drill bit turned by hand. If a projectile will not drop into...

Both would be fine I have both and would have to toss a coin. 9.3 lighter if a long carry is on the cards but that old Water Buffalo wont know if it is a 9.3x62 or a 375 H&H when you smack him in the...

I need to check the gun safe, looks just like mine without the scope. Those Woodleigh's will work real well on all NZ game animals. A good recoil pad will help tame the top loads when shooting...

I will look forward to photos and a range report.

Any bullet out of a 9.3 is going to work on the biggest of red stags. I am about to load some 250gr Accubonds at a tad over 2500fps. Lets face it in todays energy conscious world, shooting animals...
