Friends,    

Buffalo Bore is coming out with several 9.3X62 loads featuring the following bullets

1.  Hornady 286 gr. Spitzer Soft Point
2.  250 gr. Nosler AccuBond
3.  250 gr. Barnes TSX
4.  300 gr. Hornady FMJ—solid

Each of these loads is full power, but not high pressure, and stays within SAAMI pressure and dimension specs.

One virtue of the modest velocity generated by the 9.3X62 is that you do NOT need a “premium”/bonded/monolithic/partitioned bullet. Good old cup & core technology works wonderfully on large animals at these velocities. Nevertheless, we are making one load each with the TSX bullet and the 250 gr. AccuBond, both of which are, in every way, “premium” bullets. This is a good place to introduce you to my article on Understanding “Bonded” Bullets—Dispelling the Myth.

I used two German-made pre-war rifles for load development. Below are the real-world velocities these rifles generate with the Hornady 286 gr. spitzer. This is a good bullet that will give ample penetration for hunting critters like elk, grizzly, or moose at these velocities.

> 2,467 fps - Emil Kerner & Sohn, 23 inch barrel

A word about older pre-war rifles: In those days, there was no SAAMI or CIP. It seems likely that some differences in chamber dimensions may exist in some older rifles, although the Germans of that day were very exacting engineers and machinists. Still, there was no regulatory agency setting dimensional and pressure standards back then. We are making this ammo to current SAAMI specs., so if for some reason it does not work in your rifle, it is because it is out of SAAMI spec. We see a lot of this with older guns that were being made long before any of the regulating organizations existed. Both of my rifles as shown above, shoot this load safely and accurately.

Good Shooting, and God Bless,

Tim Sundles
