[QUOTE="Seabeeken, post: 3001046, member: 68015"] I just put my 9.3x62 barrel back on my Savage. I have tested a number of powders with the 250 TSX. I decided to use 370 Sako Mag brass reformed to 9.3x62 because it is a 60,000 psi cartridge and can run the x62 hotter. Its worked well for me. My better groups are in the .3-.5 range and others are in the .7-.8 range. My rifle has a Pac-Nor 24" 12T barrel. Powders that stood out were IMR-3031, RL-17, N-540, and N-550 with groups of .3-.5 with speeds around 2700 but no pressure signs. I am going to start testing with 240 Hammers soon and expecting good things. IME, the 9.3x62 is an inherently accurate round and recoil is about like the 220 gr 30-06 loads. The most important thing is to pay close attention to headspace since there isnt much shoulder there. I run 1.5-2 thou bump and no issues. You wont be undergunned with it. [/QUOTE]
