Dead on.

Original 9.3x62 ballistics were a 286-grain bullet at just over 2,100 fps. That load has roughly the trajectory and reach of a 30/30, which in my experience is plenty if you're anywhere except in very open country.

You can get another 300 fps in a stronger action, but the fact remains that a 286 at just over 2,100 is much gun.
