Luederitz, thank you! This is the information I was after. Do you know what the factory stated muzzle velocity of this round is? My friend was considering using this on larger game but I will be advising him against this. If you have any other information please do let me know. Thank you.Looks like RWS solid, but this bullets have no good reputation here in Germany due to a thin jacket. Recommendation is not to use on (dangerous) game.
the largest hunting tour operator in Europe and hunter for Ubangi Chari,later CAR(Uganda and South Sudan), after the war until the 1970s shot on elephant and buffalo only the 9.3x64 with RWS bullets.His name was Odo Willscher and has probably shot more BIg Game with this cartridge than here in the forum all together.Looks like RWS solid, but this bullets have no good reputation here in Germany due to a thin jacket.

It was for a Tigr rifle ,looks like a bit larger Svd pattern, can say pre .338 Lapua came for a weekend visit ,then the Lapua bought a dacha there to stay.Oddly enough I have seen Russian Brown Bear steel case FMJ ammo in 9.3x64 apparently it’s a Russian sniper designated cartridge.
I'd like to try the Norma Oryx 325 gr.
Do any of you have some load suggestion?
I have access to Reload Swiss powder (RS60/62 the more appropriate I guess), IMR 4350, trying to find again Norma powders.
Any help?
