HI all,
brand new to this forum, enjoy it so far..
I just bought a CZ550 in 9.3x62 which I wish to use elk hunting utilizing Nosler's 286 grain Partition. Assuming a starting velocity of 2400 fps will the bullet expand at say 250 to 300 yards? I have had very good luck with partitions at long ranges in faster calibers(300rum, 340wby) and am hoping for good things with the 9.3x62
Thank you!
 
well, heck...
I should have looked up under "FAQs" and answered my own question. Looks like 1800 fps is it! :oops:
 
I have a 550 American in 9.3x62 also. It is a real shooter. If you can find it give Ramshot BigGame a try. 65gr of BigGame/ 286gr Partition will shoot 100 yard one holers at 2450fps.

Sounds about right from what i have seen.
 
Steve,
Thank you, I have been wanting to try Ramshot powders for some time: this will give me a good "excuse"!
