they sell 9.3s as CUP points which is a common big game caliber in Europe. No Solids allowed there either.

I think they do/should, they certainly are hollow points, and at impact the expand at the tip to about 1.2 times bullet diameter. Would be interesting if Norfork has actually obtained any official approval for that, Canada or elsewhere.

I have a Sauer 90 in 8x 68, I load 160 gr TTSX to 3400 fps and 220 gr Woodleigh to conservative 2820 fps. it likes H100 v with the 160 gr and H4831 or Superformance with the heavier loads. Does everything you need to do in Canada.

completely agree, who said it was rotator cuff? the shoulder is complex, step 1 is a good physical exam, step 2 an MRI. How you "buggered it up" would be a first hint to what is wrong ( mechanism of injury). Is it a strain, an incomplete or a complete tear of whatever is wrong. Good luck...

I can't believe the the 8 mm kurz made the list. is that so the WW2 fans can hunt with the STG44?

actually no, it is at the upper range of what Barnes quotes and that is within the Rigby pressure constraints, smoke yes, but at normal pressure.

Loading for a CZ 550 in 416 Rigby that I have had for a couple of years. My go to hunting bullet in Canada is a GSC monolithic, 255 gr that flies flat and does everything here ( and likely in Afrika , if I ever make it). My plan B load ( as GSC does not exist anymore ) is a load of 97 gr H100V...

My favorite powders in a 9.3x375ruger are CFE223 , better than varget, h100 v, and for heavy bullets, eg 285 gr, superformace. Stball 6.5 was disappointing with pressure signs at sub max speed, rather suddenly.

loading for a 9.3x375 Ruger, H100v, CFE223 and 6.5 Stball are fastest and most consistent for 250 gr bullets. I don't think H4350 and Varget are "worse" , just a tad slower

well, there is no set trigger mechanism built in.

@Kevin375 thank you for the write up, this is an excellent gallery of bullet performance. Quite typical of the standard cup and core. I would not call it a bad bullet, as for everything you have to be aware of the limitations of the product. This is not a bullet for high-speed or bone crunching...

the 300 gr interlock and the 286 gr for 9.3 mm are the same bullet-construction and apparently have a bit of a thicker jacket than the smaller calibers, The few animals I have shot with a 9.3.x62 and this bullet had 2 holes ( deer) or the bullet expanded on the exit side (black bear). no...

Pictures would be good. Lots of german hunters on the forum here. 30-06 was the same in East Germany, but very uncommon. Sounds like a gun made for export. Look for the Q1 stamp. Some break actions do fine with higher pressure cartridges like 270 or 30.-06.

I just checked the ADI data, thanks for the pointer. I am loading 97 gr of H100v behind a 350 gr Barnes TTSX, nearly 20 grain less than suggested by ADI for a 350 gr Speer hotcor and still getting 2580 fps... I'll just start from square 1.
