[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 71041, member: 1622"] 7ultra, Many thanks for that very clear answer. You have reinforced my gut feel that the 9.3x64 may create logistic ‘difficulties’- frustrating because I think it would match my spec slightly better than the 9.3x62; My original idea was this: [ QUOTE ] I’m trying to specify a rifle with short range ‘grunt’ but capable of reaching out a bit. Grateful for any thoughts on the following rifle spec: Requirement:---------- Plains game rifle, comfortable to 250m, capable of 400m. Good stopping power. Barrel / Calibre:-------- 22” heavy fluted 9.3 x 62 ------------------- Or 24” heavier than standard 300/325WSM or 30.06. Weight:-------------- Reasonably manoeuverable at 8-9lbs sans scope Stock:--------------- McMillan A5 Action: --------------- Win or Rem or other (eg CZ) [/ QUOTE ] I assume that the 9.3x64 would do that rather better than the x62, but –as you point out- it doesn’t seem to show in many ammo catalogs! If you're interested (or bored!) my original question got some useful answers: [url="http://longrangehunting.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=UBB3&Number=63706&Searchpage=1&Main=63625&Words=Plains+Brown+Dog&topic=&Search=true#Post63706"]http://longrangehunting.com/ubbthreads/s...=true#Post63706[/url] [/QUOTE]
