ITEM # 9.32X62-250 TSX

This load (Item # 9.3X62-250 TSX) is the best all-around expanding load we make in 9.3X62. The pure copper TSX bullet penetrates as deeply as most 286 gr. bullets, but generates much more velocity and is, therefore, more flat shooting. What is not to like about this? The 9.3X62 was designed in 1905 specifically for shooting African Game as an all-around farmer load as the Boers (German farmers) were settling Africa and always needed a rifle nearby. It’s a cartridge that will kill Cape Buffalo and smaller animals, and that is what those early African Farmers needed. Yes, this load is fine for hunting Cape Buffalo and has already killed one that I know of, and we have not even released it to the public yet (as of 10-05-23). The 9.3X62 is, however, not legal for hunting dangerous game in all African countries, nor is it a stopping cartridge for dangerous game—it is a good hunting cartridge for some dangerous game, but hunting is much different than stopping a charging, enraged large and dangerous animal weighing from 1500 lbs. to 8,000 lbs. I’d, however, have no issue using it on a charging dangerous animal in the class of a 600 lb. African lion. I also do not like the 375 H&H for a stopping cartridge on super large dangerous animals, but it is great for hunting most dangerous game.

I used two German-made pre-war rifles for load development. Below are the real-world velocities these rifles generate with the 250gr. TSX. This is a great bullet that will give ample penetration for hunting critters like elk, grizzly, moose, and even Cape Buffalo, where legal.
