who shoots cast in their 9,3x57?
what is reasonable 100 yard accuracy?

do you hunt with it?
i have a GERMAN sporting rifle built on a small ring, large thread mauser action. it is a very trim rifle and lets me know just how trim it is every time i touch the trigger. i has a 24" very slim barrel which helps with the velocity. it sports a barrel banded front ramp and a receiver mounted peep. with this rifle using varget, 270 speers, and reformed remington 8x57 brass i can get under 2" at 100 and about 5" at 200. plenty good for this setup, as i use this for either bear hunting or when we do deer drives. it is also wonderful to haul out durring our clubs "sight in days". we'll have some lawer/doctor type with the newest/greatest thing ever made that couldn't hit the side of the barn if standing in it, and i'll sit down next to him and crack off 5 in a row at the 6" gong at 200 yards as fast as i can, hitting every time. i love being a like that sometimes. :takinWiz:
Results at 100 yards, 24 grains of 5744 behind 270g Mt Baldy boolits sized at .367

MV is somewhere around 1600 fps. Probably why the target strike is low and right of POI.
I'm getting limited success with 358 boolits paper-patched to groove diameter over 43 grains of IMR3031. Good velocity but get occasional fliers at 100 yds. Pretty cool to see the paper strips flying out radially in the muzzle blast.
My Husky has a such long freebore that cast boolits can't touch the lands. Anyway, my research is at a standstill until I get some more boolits from Mt Baldy or get a custom mould cut.

we tried to get a group buy here a while back but it died. maybe search back and find that thread and revive it. please.
Done.
I've got some cast with gas checks,some regular cast[285 gr],currently using IMR 4064, but have also some 3031, H4350,and IMR 4895.I'm using a Husky based on a 96 action.Unfortionately, very little load data is available,and I'm relying on information from other Husky owners
rather,
Out of those powders I'd try the IMR4895 behind some of those GC 285s at about 36~38 grains. Should put you in the 1700 fps range.

I don't have access to N140 loading data so I am wondering what the vel. you are getting for your load.
I have a 96 Husky and 98 Husky on 9.3X57 but haven't had time to load and shoot for them lately..
Hello! This loading was laborated by me for my friends model 46 Husqvarna.Quote:

He is the test guy of my creatings and he wants more of the 9,3:s.
There is no signs of overpressure in either the 46 nor 98 with 47 grs. N140.
The powder is finnish (Finland) and is similar to Norma 203B. It`s faster than IMR 3031 but quite similar to IMR 4895 (be careful, go from down to up). They say that a BHN of 12 is better for thin skinned animals and I agree, but that will take me a new lab. and field tests on big game that may take maybe 4-5 Years until it`s something to release in press. I have an old Oeler model 33 and I will cronograf the 9,3 cartridges and be back for information, but they are in the 2000-2100 fps. Window./ Hans.

I've recently aquired a x62 and a x57. the x57 is not put together yet the but x62 is complete.
haven't had time to shoot them yet, but after reading the effectiveness of them, I can see myself using them lots.

No wonder your friend likes your 9.3 cast boolits..
I will have to try H4895 under my 283gr. NEI boolit this summer if it ever quits raining! :veryconfu
H4895 and 283 gr. boolit in 9,3x57 makes me forget a rainy day!
You gonna be lucky and i already sending my gratulations.
Itīs over 30 years now, but i remember a phone call to my daddy when i told him that i was going to hunt Moose for the first time with our relatives back home.Quote:

I have a 9.3x62 and have read where I can expect 2400-2500 max loads with a 290gr boolit, or a 286gr J-word.
I'm not sure I'd want to shoot that too often, but it would be nice to develop a load of that level to have on hand for hunting if one needed to reach out a bit.
otherwise, I'm thinking 290gr boolit around 2100fps gives one about 250yds minute of moose!
and that should be quite gentle
Did you know that a 300-320 gr. Boolit from a 9,3X62 outperformes and outpenetrates 270 gr boolit from a 375H.H Magum according to Australian Buffalo hunting guides.Quote:

Hello Hanod,
I really like the shape of the bullets in your post. I'd be very grateful if you could you tell me where they can be purchesed. I'm from Slovakia /EU/ and in my country cast bullets aren't used with centrefire rifles
Thanks
Zoli
