Any of you guys know where I could get some Norma 232gr vulcan projectiles for the 9.3? Theye are an awesome wee projectile but haven't had much luck finding any.
Decent amount there mate, I'm going to give the 270 speers another go with 2208.
I currently use the PP 285gr but also had Really good results with the 270gr speer's.
I ran the 232 vulcans for a bit, they were doing just over 2500fps from memory. Didn't shoot much with them but they worked really well. Noone here stocks them though.
Yip sure do Tikka, Mauser, Sako, Merkel, Ruger to name a few.
Last time I had the 9.3x62 out was xmas so, it was long overdue for a work out. Managed to knock over 6 it should have been 8 but, a couple of rushed shots meant they got away. As usual the calibre...
They are a genuine 200m gun with factory loads, can take them out to 300m with handloads and good procjectile choice.
In my experience the prvi projectiles are relatively soft and very accurate....
Finally got around to chronographing the Prvi loads, came out at 2221fps average from a 22inch barrel. Pretty happy with that.
I've also found the prvi 285gr to be a consistently reliable killer with minimal meat damage.
Yip, horrible muzzle break isn't even required. Could still be cut, re crowned and a foresight attached. Could be worth the work if it went cheap.

Got the Browning 9.3 out today, Phil at Valley meats was kind enough to let me use his range. Tried the factory privi 9.3 ammo. Worked well with the last two confirmation shots touching after...
Key is to keep impact velocities high as most projectiles are designed for heavy game and are fairly stout therefore expansion is an issue. Certainly don't want to try shooting anything below...
Beautiful rifle mate, you have to get out and shoot her. They are not bad on the shoulder, think 30-06 firing 200gr projectiles and then a bit more. You'll be fine especially with that recoil pad;)
I bought a few packets too, rude not to at that price! They still have a few available.
Yep the 285gr privis work well and shoot well in my rifle, good terminal performance on game too.
I've found the 270gr speers to be somewhat explosive at close ranges, made a real mess on the animals, fragments all through the wound channel.
Nice work mate and beautiful rifle, Managed to tip this young Sika over just before xmas with the 9.3.

Yeah would've been me mate, sold it another forum member down on the westcoast to fund my 9.3x62 Maral.
Beaut rifles the 640's loved mine.

Keen on the brass Gibo chur.
Nice mate yeah the light huskys with the hard butt plates aren't the nicest off the bench. That's not a bad price on the Black bear, over here they go for around $3500 new. Currently a very nice Sako...
That looks really good mate
