    I use 2400 but in the big brother 9.3x62 20.0grs is the most accurate been up to 23.0 but accuracy fell off real bad, start at 15 or 16 grains you should be ok
    I use filler but not sure if it makes any difference hope this helps

    tdo, I've never tried 2400 in the 9.3 but as versatile a powder as it is I don't see why a load couldn't be found. It appears kiwi gave a place to start. Be curious to see your results.

    I am looking for 9.3 x 57 loads and bullets as well.
    This caliber does not seem to be too popular but it has the potential to be a great cast bullet shooter

    A beautiful 4 cavity Ideal 9.3 mould was offered in S&S recently. A great caliber; I had the 9.3 x 62 until I got a .358 Win. I know they aren't the same; but for my purposes they are. IMR 3031 is a great powder for your needs.

    Thank you for this information.
    I have been advised to start with .358 Win loads and work up, I think using a chronograph to work up to .358 minimum powder charge to match the .348 Win starting velocity will give me an idea of pressures. Then again .358 min velocity may be too much pressure for the M96 action.

    Norma publishes loads for the 9.3x57. Rl 15 is the same as N203 IIRC. I use 44.0 to 46.0 IMR 4895 with a 286 privy, and 51.0 to 53.0 ww748 with the 232 Norma. The bore in my husky is a little rough for cast. In my Ruger 9.3x74 the NOE 280 GC is an excellent bullet and should work well in a X57 with a smooth bore.

    There are outfitters here and there are moose here.
    The options here are to book with an outfitter or have a local purchase a hunter host license and you hunt with them.
    Under the hunter host you are not guaranteed a moose tag because moose are under a draw system here.
    Tags are allocated to outfitters and they are part of the booking price.

    There are number of outfitters but I have no idea of their success
    We can chat over PM when I get a list of names of outfitters from the local sports store
