The Sellier & Bellot 9.3×62 Mauser NSR Nosler Partition ammunition (Model: V340322) is factory-loaded rifle ammunition engineered for large and dangerous game hunting. Featuring a 286-grain (18.50-gram) Nosler Partition soft-point bullet, this load combines an initial expanding front lead core with an integral gilding-metal partition wall that keeps the rear core intact. Tested from a 600 mm barrel, it produces a muzzle velocity of 693 m/s (2,274 fps) and 4,442 Joules (3,276 ft-lbs) of muzzle energy, delivering deep tissue penetration and structural weight retention through dense bone and heavy hide.

Key Features

• Dual-Core Nosler Partition Bullet: Utilises an integral solid brass/gilding-metal partition that isolates the rear lead core to retain over 65% to 70% of total bullet weight, while the soft-point front core mushrooms uniformly upon impact.
• Tapered Jacket Profile: Designed with a gradually thickening jacket mouth and internal crimp locks to control radial expansion across a broad range of impact velocities.
• Substantial Kinetic Transfer: Generates 4,442 Joules of muzzle energy and carries 3,096 Joules at 200 metres, providing strong hydrostatic shock and terminal punch at medium hunting ranges.
• High-Grade Reloadable Components: Loaded in standard Boxer-primed, non +P reloadable brass cases to standard 81.70 mm overall cartridge length.

Who is the S&B Sellier & Bellot 9.3x62 Mauser 286 Grain Nsr Nosler Partition Ammo 20 Rd for?

• Australian water buffalo and scrub bull hunters — delivers 4,442 Joules of muzzle energy and uses a 286-grain partitioned projectile to ensure deep, bone-breaking penetration through heavy frontal muscle and thick hide without bullet break-up.
• Large deer and heavy feral boar hunters — harnesses an aerodynamic 0.465 G1 ballistic coefficient to maintain 3,096 Joules of kinetic energy at 200 metres, giving this 9.3x62 Mauser hunting ammunition reliable stopping power across typical forest stalking distances.
• African plains game hunters — relies on a 693 m/s muzzle velocity and dual-core weight retention design to produce controlled hydraulic expansion on tough, heavy-boned quarry out to a 144-metre zero.

Less suitable for: Extended long-range hunting beyond 300 metres where bullet drop sharply exceeds -57.4 cm (better suited to flatter-shooting magnum calibres with high-BC tipped projectiles), or light-framed game such as small feral goats and fallow deer where the stiff 286-grain partition construction risks through-and-through penetration without full expansion (better suited to lighter, faster-expanding cup-and-core or ballistic-tipped ammunition).
