New interesting offering from Hammer bullets for 9.3mm fans. IMO this one is especially suited to single shots, double rifles, and drillings. I guess it could work in your 9.3x62/64 if you have a magnum length or custom action - the ogive is insanely long. The maker states he designed this bullet for his custom wildcat 36 Nosler cartridge. G1 BC is a claimed 0.500 so if you appreciate the ability to reach out with your 9.3 for elk and long range this could be a good option.
I'm loading to the front PDR band and it gives a 4.07" OAL in 9.3x74R in my Blaser S2, with a 0.030" jump to the lands. In another thread I posted two consecutive, 4-shot L+R groups at 110 yards and 200 yards that are sub-moa with this bullet - in the S2 double rifle.
I haven't used any Hammer bullets on game yet. The hollowpoint under the plastic tip measures about 0.70" deep and looks wide enough to open quickly even at 9.3x74R velocity. I'll probably take my trusty 250 Accubonds with me on the trip to RSA along with the Hammers for situations where I don't want overpenetration.
