I do not but I can guess. The 9.3 is very very close to the 35 Whelen in performance. That said it does not really generate enough velocity to warrant a bonded core. A buddy of mine had a CZ in 9.3 and he got by just great with the Ballistic tip and or the Partition. Actually one hole groups at 100 yards.
So I am thinking that Nosler is concetrating on making the Accubonds for the calibers that are launching slugs at hypervelocity and then once they have those bases covered then they will cover the rest. Just a guess.

I tend to agree with Pop. My guess is that 9.3 mm is not the most popular caliber so it would be a lower priority than some of the more popular calibers.
I thought I had read somewhere that Nosler was going to offer a .358 cal 225 gr AB.

Swede.... Now that I think about it...Why a Partition Gold in 9.3? The regualr Partition in 286 gr format ought to get you by on just about any animal you might encounter. You push these out at what 2400 fps or so? Plenty of punch and penetration and that is all the Golds offer over the regular partitions.

Unless you're a die hard Nosler fan and none of the existing 9.3mm Nosler bullets are shooting for you gun..........
