[QUOTE="5Redman8, post: 63361, member: 1791"] With all due respect to the cartridge, i do not feel the 9,3x62 is a 400yd cartridge. It will do everything you need and more out to 250yds but gravity really gets ahold of those fat heavy bullets beyond 250yds. My 9,3 was a CZ 550 and I loved it. Parted with it shortly however to fund another project as getting back to Africa is doubtful since i am a teacher by profession. Most plains game can be had at 250yds or closer.....much closer for me as I used my bow for 3 out of 4 animals. The 4th was a black wildebeest at abot 250yds. If i were to do it again, I would feel comfortable with a 9,3x62 and limit shots to 250yds which most PHs prefer anyways. Otherwise, for flat shooting at distance I would opt for 300WSM, 325WSM, 338WM or there abouts. JMO, Kyle [/QUOTE]
