9.3 X 62 Mauser 285gr. Sellier & Bellot Ammo Md: V332052U
Sellier and Bellot has been producing cartridge ammunition since 1870. Today they produce ammunition using high quality components in their semi-jacketed bullet consisting of a metallic jacket and a lead core. The lead core is bare in front. When hitting the target, it gets deformed and produces a mushroom-like shape, which enhances the lethal effect. It is used for most types of rifle cartridges and, depending on caliber weight, it is used by hunters, competition shooters, law enforcement agencies and militaries around the world. This ammunition is non-corrosive, in boxer primed, and has reloadable brass cases.

The 9.3X62mm (9.3X62mm Mauser) was designed by Otto Bock for Mauser in 1905. The 9.3mm (.366-inch bullet) is the European answer to the 375. The 9.3X62mm is the most popular of numerous European 9.3mm cartridges, designed to equal the performance of the earlier 9.3X74R, but in bolt-actions. It fits easily into a standard (30-06-length) action and with a 286-grain bullet at 2360 fps is a powerful and effective cartridge, yet fairly mild in recoil. In America it is often stated that the 375 is the minimum for dangerous game, but in most African jurisdictions the actual minimum is more commonly 9.3mm. The 9.3X62mm is very popular in Europe and is becoming popular in the U.S. It is an excellent cartridge for North America's largest game and can be considered a sensible minimum for Cape buffalo. — Craig Boddington
