[mbogo3]

Has anyone loaded the 9.3x62 and the 286gr Hornady? If so what is the C.O.A.L.? The data I found for various other brands run 3.28" for that weight.Thanx Harold PS-even Hornady didn't know?

I only have Partition COL handy... 3.225" w/ Hodgdon and IMR powders.

Hope that helps.

The magazine length in my rifle pretty much determines my OAL so I just stick with 3.28-3.29" with the Hornadys in my 9.3X62. If your mag length is longer, you might want to play around with the COL.

This bullet was developed to be used in Hornadys 9.3X74R factory ammo so the cannelure is located to accommodate that cartridge. Best to ignore it in the 62.
