[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2906412, member: 27307"] This is the definitive resource regarding the 9.3x62 Brenneke rifle cartridge: [URL]https://93x62journal.co.za/[/URL] The hardcover can be a little pricey but I like to refer back to it. You can think of the 9.3x62 as a 'light .375' or the usual references are made to the .35 Whelen for comparison. I find that the x62 fits that category nicely. It is generically a fine medium power cartridge capable of hunting everything here in the US as well as Europe and most game in Africa. It was at one time the most popular and common cartridge in Africa. I prefer to use the 9.3x64 and the 9.3x57 cartridges for first choices with the x64 getting picked for larger, heavier game and the x57 in Mannlicher–Schönauer dress called upon for deer and medium game. There is also a fine example made by Husqvarna in the M98 or the M96 version. There is a decent selection of bullets available here for reloading from 200 grain up to the 320 grain Woodleigh. The 250 grain Ballistic Tip is probably the most popular due to availability and the 285/286 grain being somewhat traditional in the heavier bullets. Partition, Norma Alaskan and the Woodleigh usually carry the load. The short barreled, full stock M-S, shooting the 320 grain Woodleigh is a real thumper for shorter range large bear and moose. Mine is good out to about 400 yards when the energy imparted sets the limit. Any version of the 9.3 cartridges can provide a ton of fun when reloading! :) ADDED: I just saw this and think it's a good addition to any thinking regarding lighter bullets for hunting and practice: From Lapua: [ATTACH type="full"]495013[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
