I am asking the esteemed gentlemen, and gentlewomen about what their one bullet, one powder that they would use for their .308 Winchester? I will use this load for deer, up to elk, and black bear, and possibly moose. Distances will be from 0 to possibly 450 yds, max 500 yds. I am ready for...

That's outstanding! I appreciate the info! Hawk Sent from my REVVLRY+ using Tapatalk

Thank you for your suggestion! I will certainly do exactly that! I got mine because of the only thing that is available right now on the shelves is .308, .350 Legend, .450 Bushmaster, .300 Win Mag, and 5.56 NATO/ .223! But, I like .308, and didn’t know there was that much info online for good...

Thank you for that info! There’s over 30 pages of info!!! WOW!!! I will be busy looking at that for a long time! LOL Hawk

Hey DrMike! I know it’s probably been done a hundred times before, but can I please get QL data for .308 Winchester? Range of bullets 125 to 180 gr. 22 inch barrel, 1 in 10 inch twist. Thank you way in advance!! Hawk

I agree with you there! Hawk

Ummm!! [emoji848] I just noticed that was a 24 inch barrel in the data… Sorry to point that out. Hawk

Hey DrMike! Would it be possible to run some 9.3x62 loads at 62kpsi? With the same parameters as before, 22 inch barrel, 1 in 14 inch twist? Any bullet weights running low to high? Like 232 up to 300 gr? Thank you in advance!! I surely appreciate you! Hawk

@Guy Miner Thank you Guy! I should’ve started my post off by saying that the upped psi for the 9.3x62mm equals old manual loadings of the .375 H&H! Not the newer loadings of the .375 H&H. I know you’re pretty happy with your .375 H&H, and when I started this post, you were the first I thought...

You’re not the first to mention staying away from the Speer 270 gr. 9.3 bullets. They are too soft, as you mentioned. I believe you’re right about the lighter to mid bullet weights going to the Whelen, and the heavier bullets of 286 gr and heavier going to the 9.3x62! Thank you for your input...

Absolutely beautiful rifles you have!! Nothing wrong with pumping those 286 gr bullets out at 2460 fps. That’s what made the 9.3 a legend. And that’s why it’s still around today. Hawk

I have both, the .35 Whelen, and a 9.3x62. For all intents and purposes, they are ballistic equals. The only advantage goes to the 9.3 and the higher ballistic coefficient bullets it has. Hawk

I was, but I bought my Sauer 100 Black in 9.3x62! Hawk

I am, for the time being, just using QL data and the Hornady manual. I do know, from a gun writer by the name of Bob Mitchell, that he has been able to push a 300 gr bullet to 2600 fps, chronographed out of his Tikka T3 with a 22.4 inch barrel. His technique is seating the bullet as far out as...

Hello all! I’ve been doing some homework into the whole .375 H&H Mag vs 9.3x62mm business. Now, what I have to say on the matter is this…. The .375 H&H has a decided advantage over the the 9.3x62mm only when the 9.3x62 is loaded to original pressures. Now, with that being said, once you start...

That’s exactly what I like to hear!! Thank you for letting me know. Hawk

Thank you so very much DrMike! The old cartridge gets some new life into it when properly loaded. I see that the 60k psi loads do quite well, and not much gain in the 64k psi. The 60k psi will sure put a wallop on anything on this continent, and others. Hawk

Hey DrMike! It’s me, yet again. I was wondering if you could give me QL loads for the .35 Whelen, first set at 60k psi, 24 inch barrel, 1 in 14 inch twist? With bullet weights running 200 to 250 grs, please? Second set, can you run the pressures at 64k psi? Thank you so very much in advance...

Thank you Guy! Thank you for your service as well! Hawk

Outstanding! Congratulations on a successful hunting trip! Gotta love the .270! Hawk
