9.3x62 Anschutz M1782 plinker

[4fifty8]

• Berry's 9x18 Makarov 95gr projectile 0.364" dia.
• Herco+polyfil / PPU brass / BR-2
• low pressure safe in my rifle only - NOT a recommendation
• groups not too bad at 40m off bench
• low cost handload low recoil do more target shooting

I do this kind of reloading reduced loads for several year already, and these loads are quite accurate.
Like you, I use copper plated handgun bullets to load:

• 30-30 Win.
• 308 Win
• 30/06
• 303 British
• 7.5x55 Swiss
• and a few more

these loads are very pleasant to shoot, accurate to 100 meters (at least) and the brass will last forever.

Neat. Didn't realize there was a handgun bullet/caliber that works in 9.3x62. Thanks for sharing.

Box says max velocity 1250fps, but it appears you're pushing them to nearly 2150? Any issues with that?

That is a beautiful rifle! Also neat to see the reduced load for it. Something I may have to try in one of my rifles at some point.

Thanks bdb rather like this rifle it's nicely made.

Seems way high can't say for sure if bullet speed as indicated was getting erratic chrony readings with that bright sun at low angle.

Great way to get more use out of a great looking rig.

Great idea; I thought about resizing .40 cal. This is easier!
