What a used 270 Speer from a 9.3X62 looks like.

[Why not?]

Last Monday evening. Moose was quartering away at 80 yards. Hit back of rib cage going in, breaking rib, through both lungs, broke two ribs on far side, bullet recovered under hide.

Penetrated minimum of 40" Recovered bullet weighs 225.3 grains.

Again, so much for these being too soft for big game.

gotta love that. Reminds me of the Speer 350 gr MagTip for 416" - tough soft points designed for a particular velocity..they work well

 

[Why not?]

Exactly! The muzzle velocity was bit under 2600 fps, and the bullet construction is designed for such!

This is the third animal that I have personal experience with using this bullet, and all three were perfect, two moose and one big bear.

The old Norma 286 gr works the same, bullet construction matched to velocity.

Nice bullet, now where's the moose?

Good job Ted, So you didnt need an uber mag with copper bullets to kill one of them armour plated Yukon moose eh.

 

[Gatehouse]

Great performance, which shows why the slow and heavy bullets always worked so well...

 

[Salty]

Sounds like you hit about right Ted

 

[BC Bigbore]

Hmm...any pictures of the unlucky recipient of that slug Ted?

 

[Northman999]

Great work on that moose Ted! The 9.3x62 is a great moose cartridge in my opinion.

Tod made the point, at the right velocity they are great bullets. I used to shoot them from my 30-06 and they worked great on deer, in my 300 not quite as well.

Nice bullet, now where's the moose?

Okay, here's the entrance hole in the rib cage.

The ribs are close to two inches wide there.

They are not in my camera. Will have to get them from my buddy. I was doing the calling.

Horns measure 53 inches, but his body was so huge we both underestimated his size. I figured he would be 47-48 inches.
