9.3x62 load data

I've used Varget, RL15, 4064 with good success with 285 gr. bullets. Have some CFE 223 on hand to try after reading good reports. And have a wonderful load with Lapua Naturalis 220 gr. and VV140. I believe the 9.3x62 is a cartridge about as easy to load as the .308. Most any powder within the medium burning rate works very well.

Please post your results...I'm going to try it this spring, seems to be some around in the stores right now and less than 50 bucks a pound too :)
 
I use 63gr of H414 under Lapua 285gr MEGA's. Max load. Group size at 100yds is just under 0.60" for 5 rounds. 200yds 1.44" (5 shots), 300yds 5.80" (5 shots).

Anybody try using CFE223 in their 9.3x62?

Burn rate is in between Varget and RL 17

It should work. I ran some data through GRT, and while I have trust issues using that program, it seems to be close to the results I'm actually getting for 9.3mm.

You don't specify what bullet weight you're using. For 285 gr, I would start at 58-59 grs and work up from there.

I've got 250gr.TTSX's, 250gr. Accubonds, 250gr. Partitions, and 285gr. PPU's.

The guns barrel is a copper mine (Sauer 100 Classic XT) so CFE223 should help me out in that regard.

Hogdgon reloading site doesn't list CFE223 for the 9.3x62, but they do list two loads (270gr & 300gr) with BL-C(2) which is one spot faster in burn rate.
 
My loads so far that are keepers, 270gn Speer hot core over 59gn of H4895 going at around 2500fps, nosler brass and rem 9 1/2 primers ( I don’t use those primers anymore to many issues)!
Rifle is a Ruger no1 S 22” barrel twist 1:10…
286gn partition over 58gr IMR4166, avg velocity of 2408fps, fed 215 mag rifle primers and nosler brass. That is what I used on my moose this year at 106m, semi frontal shot, went in between neck and left shoulder, went through the heart and out at the front ribs opposite side and finished its course into the right front leg, moose dropped on the spot, not even thinking of moving an other inch!
Decent size moose at roughly 475lbs of dressed meat( average size of the all the moose I shot so far, the biggest at 700+ lbs of dressed meat and smallest at 250lbs of meat)

What brass and primer? I run magnum primers on all my hunting ammo except cast for the colder climate.Might try some Win 760 if I can find data.
 
When I decided to go for something in 9.3x62,;) aka .366 Wagner, I did so as a bit of a whim. Something a little different to whats already in the safe. In preparation for getting one, I started to accumulate some components. From a site member and friend, I acquired a set of RCBS dies, Lapua unfired brass and some 285gr PRVI bullets. At local gun shows and some retail outlets, I picked up some once fired Norma brass, 231gr and 286gr Norma bullets, 250gr Speer, 286gr Barnes TSX bullets. Also, some custom bullets from Matrix Ballistics that I've since traded off that I don't recall the weights of. For a rifle, I opted to go the:) inexpensive route and ordered a full wood model Zastava from Trade Ex. I was:eek: AMAZED at the accuracy with my first few handloads using the 285gr PRVI bullets pushed with top end loads of IMR 4320 and/or IMR 4064. So much so that I haven't tried any other bullets and weights, yet. Also, so much so, that I picked up another rifle, the same but in 7x57 and while at it,;) I stocked up on more of the 285gr PRVI bullets.

62 grs of CFE223 with 285gr PRVI is giving just shy of 2400fps and no pressure signs....an increase of .5grs is roughly increasing velocity by 20/25 fps so far.

Haven't tried for an groups just looking to see where velocity will end up first.

2450fps for 285's is probably a good velocity for the 9.3 I would think??
 
2420 or around that is what I’m at with NP 286gn bullets in my 22” barrel Ruger no1

What are your velocities with these 2 loads.

I tried 62, 62.5, 63, and 63.5 (CFE223) this morning...62@2400fps, 62.5 and 63 @ the exact same 2421fps and 23.5 jumped to 2478fps
