Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles load for a 9.3X62

Posted Nov 10, 8:14 PM
I posted this information on a big bore thread but I wanted to post it over here as well. I sent an e-mail to Ramshot this morning to see if they had any load data for the 9.3X62 using their Big Game powder. Their ballistician, Johan Loubser, sent me the following information:

NOTES:
It� important to note that SAFETY is our prime concern therefore we strongly recommend.
1. TO ALWAYS BEGIN LOADING AT THE RECOMMENDED MINIMUM �START� LOAD.
2. If at all possible, measure the velocity and correlate with our data.
