    Any 9.3x62 shooters out there?

    I recently bought 2 sets of swaging dies in 366, didn't have a 366 gun though. I also just bought a CZ 550 American to put the swage dies to use.
    Due to the swage dies I can really make any size of bullet from 100-400 grains.

    I am wondering what your favorite load is for this caliber!

    I am shooting Accurate molds 36-285B mine are 292 grains ready to shoot I am only loading practise/plinking loads with 18 grains of 2400 for around 1400fps accuracy is 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" at 100 metres, will try heavier loads at some time probably with Varget.

    I have a full stocked CZ but it has been loaned out to a friend for several years and it has only been fed jacketed bullets.

    I have a Husqvarna 640 in 9,3x62 but I have not shot any cast through it, I don't have a suitable mold.

    I am in the process of working up a Husky 9.3x57 - waiting on PP 8x57 brass to size up and load. Waiting on NOE to produce his 9.3 mold again, I'm signed up. I have 10o0 bullets to start with. This is a long term project for me, if I have any results by next year I'll be happy.

    I have a CZ550FS. It is accurate for a full stocked sporter. The 9.3X62 is just about as big a cartridge as I want to shoot out of a sporter weight rifle and still call it fun. One of these days, I'll order a mould for it....

    I built a 9.3 x 62mm Mauser on a 98 mauser action I am shooting a boolit from an Accurate 37-258C mold over 45gr. of H4895. This rifle was a project with a friend the idea was not for it to be a cast boolit shooter it has turned out that was.

    I hope resurrecting a 2-month-old thread isn't a faux pas: I've had my NOE 366-280-FN mold for a couple weeks and just got my .368 sizing die from Buckshot - this is for a Savage 111 that is from the factory as a 9.3x62. I've determined that 13.8 ~ 19.9 gr of Trailboss is where I'll start but I have a small assortment of A5744, IMR 4227, IMR 3031, IMR 4895, IMR 8208 and A2495 that may be candidates for CB's. There's isn't any data in Castpics so far so I thought I'd open this thread back up to see what, if any, new thoughts about loads are out there.

    OK, got to the range with the new NOE 366-280-FN-GC and tried a few loads with my Magnetospeed 'Sporter' chronograph.
    The test gun is a Savage 111 Euro w/20" barrel - after slugging the chamber it's about .368 in diameter with about .375 in freebore. The bore is .358 and the groove is .366.
    The mould has 5 cavities and all are within 0.5 grains of each other resulting with 292 grains with the alloy I have. All rounds are seated to 3.17" COL and use Wolf LR primers in PRVI brass.
    First up was Trailboss with 8 rounds each:

    Code:
    Grains            14.0  16.0
    Avg Velocity      1136  1231
    Sd                7       6
    ES                23      17

    Next up was Accurate 5744 with 4 rounds ea:
    Code:
    Grains          33.8   40.0   40.2   40.4
    Avg velocity    1867   1796   1873   1889
    Sd               32     143     6     5
    ES               75     305    15     11


    I'll probably try a little more with A5744 but then move on to IMR-4895 & 3031

    Sorry, can't edit post - those loads for A5744 were 33.8, 34.0, 34.2 and 34.4 grains
