I'm looking to buy 286g nosler partition
What would be your choice of powder and primer and why?
Do you prefer other bullet? ( moose hunting)
 
BL-C2 is your friend. You will be able to fit more in than anything else I know, and you should be able to outperform other powders before getting pressure problems. I know two other veteran 9.2x62 reloaders (who I consulted before loading this round myself)who tell me that getting around 2500 fps with BL-C2 is not at all unreasonable with 286's, always working up loads carefully, of course.

Your partitions should be a great bullet. I use Norma Oryx and Prvi bulk 286's.
 
RE15 has it's followers................Shot a moose and a black wolf with mine last fall.Hornady 286 gr...........Harold
 
I don't want to be nasty here, but getting 2500 fps with a 286 grainer and BLC2 in the 9.3X62 will bring you around 62 000 PSI..... for a 24 in. tube....

I also use RL15 and also BLC2, Varget and H380. The first and the last gives the best results for me. Don't be shy using magnum primers with ball powders.
 
Re15 and Norma 201 with magnum primers. Partitions are a fine choice, although, in my experience, you won't get the same velocities as with most other 286 grainers. IMO the partitions are more suited to a 9.3x64. A Speer 270 grainer will knock a moose down just as dead as a 286.

2500fps with a 286? I've heard of it, don't know if I beleive it, but it really isn't neccessary to have a bullet of that size going that fast for any North American game.
 
I've read Speer 270gr are better at 9.3x57 velocities.Some had bullet blowup on bigger game at 9.3x62 speeds.I had core separation with a Hornady 286gr out of my 62 on a moose shoulder knuckle at 190 yards...............Harold
 
I am going to begin loading for my M-96 Husky. I've got an assortment of bullets, all 286gr. Hornady IL, Norma Alaskan, Norma Oryx and Nosler Partition.

From the data in the Nolser 5th Edition manual, it looks like something between 2350-2400 is the proper velocity range.

I think I'll start with RL-15, based on that Nosler manual...
 
Most of these M/94 or, M/38 if you have a later 649 w/ no thumb cut-out on the left wall, have long throat (long bullet engaging cone) and wont produce very high speed. You better think of getting around 2250 to 2300 fps, that's what you will likely end up having with these.
A lot of those US manuals are really optimistic velocity-wise.
This action does not deserve high pressures, mainly 'cos it's not the best at handling escaping gases. Respect the given maximum loads of the manuals.
The speed above are way plenty to bring down any moose, don't worry.

I shot a moose broadside through the lungs at about 75m with the 270 grains Speer from one of my 9.3X62 and it went through it like butter. The bullet held on but it did not hit any major bone. The moose did not even made a step.
 
You know, as long as you hit the paper where you want it. From my personal experience with these (factory chambered, I did not try the rechambered ones, yet) you may expect a fair 2300 fps with some good accuracy with the 649 models. But yes, you will need the chrony.... just to confirm the speed and tune your load in accordance to what you want. You usually will find you're more of less 100-150 fps slower than what you expected with a given load. Faster powders, in the RL15 class will provide the best results.

I also shoot recent-made 9.3X62 rifles and they have much shorter leade and tighter barrels, so they usually give more velocity.
