9.3x62 'plans' in motion

Ya BeaverMeat..........let's take a look at it without the green background, just the letter banners and the original photo.........please. Also we can use the name Matrix as I know Marshal and he won't mind a bit and is good friends with Ted. Also Ted has been talking up his bullets for years, I think it is appropriate.
 
A question comes to mind. It appears we have two submissions or basic concepts for consideration. One by Gunslinger on Pg. 4, post #40.



And a second by BeaverMeat on Pg. #10, post #100.



What's the popular choice??

OR!!
Offer two different load choices and have one for each??

Will add "Matrix Precision", if by popular demand.

Not yet Looky. From their original time line shipping estinate, 5 business/working days which makes tomorrow 'D-Day'. I did call Trade Ex again today as I have a friend interested in something similar to what I have coming in. They said they may not have another the same coming in until early this summer. Anyway, the gentleman I talked to said mine had been shipped on Thursday the 16th, He said, shipping duration to where I am is usually 5 to 7 days.:)If so, then it'll still be here in time for my birthday:D.

The bullet weight should read 286 grain not 285.

I like the yellow lettering one, looking good BM

True enoughj. On a quick check of the info I have at hand, quite a few availavle are 286gr. I'll jot down what I found and a quick check of the Matrix site, Marshall has are
Matrix - 250gr
- 270gr
-290gr
(Nothing 286??)
Speer -270gr
Nosler - 250gr &
- 286gr
Barnes - 250gr &
- 286gr
Norma - 232gr &
- 286gr
The ones I picked up at a local gun show
prvi partizan - 285gr

Norma also makes a ###y 9.3/325, although I don't have may left, but nostalgia favors the 286 gr.

I wasn't aware they had one available in 325gr. Interesting. Do you know, roughly, when it was made available? And better yet,;)do you know of anymore available? I'll have to keep my eyes pealed at upcoming gun shows.

I have an old Norma bullet display board, just above the little window, as part of the decor in my reloading room and the only bullets on it are a pair in 232gr, one I asume to be possibly a dual core, with a nickel jacket, and one with a copper jacket. Then they have a similar pair in 286gr.



In my copy of the old Norma reloading manual, the load listings are for those two weights, for both the 9.3x62 and the 9.3x74 R. However, in an additional Norma Ballistics Tables Loading Data info sheet, there's actually three bullets shown for the 9.3. In addition to the two other weights I've mentioned, there is also what appears to be a FMJ in 154gr.



 
That's a nice comfortable reloading room you have there, Johnn. I'm jealous...mine looks like it's in the sub-basement of the Addams' family house.:)

Anyway of getting more of the trees in the background in to give it the wilderness feel?

Yeah, definitely...that vintage photo of a steely-eyed bearded fellow, single-handedly shooting a series of boulder- and snag-infested whitewater rapids, in a freighter canoe loaded down with a bull moose...somehow lacks that "wilderness feel". Where was that snapshot taken...a Toronto waterfront park? May need to photoshop in a Samsquanch or a grizzly bear...or maybe an erupting volcano...:)

Thanks guy. When I set it up, I thought I had more than enough room. Now, it's getting to the state of 'cluttered'. Here's a couple more photos frpm different angles than that first one.





The same space considerations went into the size determination of my gun safe and a guy from work fabricated it up for me. A couple of years ago, I picked up a small inexpensive Stack-On,:redface: just to handle the 'overflow'. When my .366 Wagner arrives, end of the 'overflow' space.
