[QUOTE="hembrook, post: 2965069, member: 108126"] I like and regularly use my CZ-550 Medium in 9.3x62. It has the short barrel and mannlicher stock. My go-to load is a 250AB loaded to 2600 fps. VV540 is a good powder for this, or Varget or similar medium speed powders. Brass is based on the 12mm head first seen on the 8x57 Mauser. Basically Otto Bock took a 286 grain slug from a 9,3x74R and put it at the front of an M98 action and measured from the cannelure to the back of the magazine box and got 62mm. Brass can be made from .30-06, .270/.280 etc, but why? Brass is readily available from several makers. I call mine my “young cannon” and have used it on everything from foxes, jackals, rehbock, red stags, pigs, warthog, wildebeest, hartebeest and a nice 700 lb zebra taken across a canyon at 300 yards.
