9.3x62 and Nosler 250gr Accubond

[Scrumbag]

Hi folks,

I'm looking at trying to get my 9.3x62 shooting Nosler Accubonds at 2,500fps (makes like easier with lead on running pigs than ~2300 fps with a 285gr flat base and round nose like an Oryx).

I ran Vihtavouri's reloading data through Gordon's Reloading Tool and found that Viht's loads were rather hot. Anyone else noticed this?

I'd also be grateful for anyone who has experience with Reload Swiss Powders in this cartridge (maybe a long shot). I have liked RS70 in my 7x64 for heavy bullet work.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Yes VV powders are known for being a little hot

That's interesting. Always thought VV data was quite conservative... I was surprised at it being not so in the this. Perception is a strange thing, eh?

I may have misunderstood your earlier post I was speaking more of burning temperature not load data

@338 dude Ah, I see your point.

VV data, usually conservative (on the low side)

VV Powders, particularly the N5XX, are rather on the hot side.

And that is all I have experience with is N570 in my 338 Lapua I would imagine any double base powder Would burn pretty hot
