Hornady Dangerous Game 9.3x62mm Mauser ammunition (brand part no. 82303) loads a heavy 286-grain InterLock spire point bullet, built for hunters pursuing genuinely dangerous or thick-skinned game where a standard deer-class bullet cannot be trusted. The InterLock design uses an internal locking ring molded into the jacket that grips the lead core, resisting the core-jacket separation that would otherwise cost the bullet weight and penetration on a close-range charge or heavy-boned shot. Hornady’s Recoil Proof seating additionally secures the bullet in the case to prevent it from being driven deeper under the recoil of the other rounds stacked in a magazine, a genuine risk with 9.3x62mm’s serious recoil. For 9.3x62mm Mauser hunters chasing dangerous or heavy-boned game, this rifle ammunition from Hornady is built for exactly that.
