I am looking to reload some 9.3x63s with 250 and 286 Aframe. I can’t find any cfe 223. Are any of the Vihtavuori powders similar to cfe 223. Or do you have any other good ideas for powder. Looking to try to get a little extra velocity for a combination buff plains game hunt. Thanks
 
I’m using RL-17 and 250 grain accubond In my 9.3x62. Super accurate at 2560 fps. i know I could get more velocity out of it, but its very accurate and I think 2560 is sufficient.
 
Several more on this forum also like RL-17 for the 9.3x62, myself included. Limited experience personally, but it appears to work well with the heavier bullets as well.

I was I bit tired when I wrote this twice I wrote 9.3x63. Lol guess it is between 9.3x62 and 9.3x64. I’m sure everyone gets my intent was 9.3x62.
 
I’ve had good success with Varget and 250-grain bullets. I would recommend RL-15 and Big Game for 286-grain bullets.
 
I use RL17 in 250, 286, and 300gr bullets. Use big game with the 320 Woodleighs.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Thanks .
