Ruger African 9.3x62 accuracy reports?

Lipskys and Hollowell, make runs of 250 and never to be repeated, This is for customer protection and collectability....
Ive had three 9.3x62 Africans over the last few years and they all shot around an inch, some less and some better..
Anytime you buy a new rifle all you are guaranteed is 3 inch accuracy with most companies, it would be impossible to guarantee otherwise, and those that do can only replace the gun, and man can they come up with excuses not to do so..
 
Never owned a Ruger, but just got a 9.3x62 barrel for my Merkel RX Helix and looking forward to getting it dialed in. Hope it’s a tack driver like the 300 win mag barrel is, sub one inch at a 100.
 
Picked up an unfired Lipsey's and put 50 rounds through it, both factory and handloads.

Weird, I've never had a cartridge before that would group inch or better, factory or handload at 4 different MVs (nominal) using the 250 gr. NAB - 2350, 2450, 2550 (factory), & 2650. Handloads used RL15.

Happy Camper.
 
As long as you don’t try to hot rod it I have found it to be extremely accurate. Not fussy about bullets either.
 
I have one that is a regular Ruger offering, made before the Lipseys with the 23 inch barrel and it is a very nice shooter. Everything that I have loaded and shot through it has been able to group at MOA. A really terrific rifle.
 
I have found accubonds are the most accurate bullet in my CZ550.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
