There are 34 of the 258gr, 45 200gr Flat nose Norma, and 125+ of the 200gr "Torpedo" which I believe to be RWS manufacture that mic out to .3645. 200+ bullets for 9.3x72R loader. $150 shipped USPS to US address where legal. DM if interested.

Deer, bear and the heavier ones elk. Are all of them for the 72, or just the 200gr?
The only factory load I have ever seen for the 9.3x72R is a 193 grain. Norma did load a 193 grain bullet many years ago in the 74R.

My understanding is that a rifle chambered in 9.3x72R will most likely have a bore of .364-365 and not the .366 that you would see in a modern 9.3mm. My reference to these being suitable for the 72R was due to diameter, weight, and the low velocity of the cartridge.

If you are shooting a modern rifle in 9.3x74R like a Ruger #1 there are more suitable projectiles commonly available in the US in .366 diameter.

Thanks, it's a 1930's drilling and is regulated to the iron sights for 286gr
 
I have a few 232gr and am looking for more. Thank you for the feed back.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.
