Go on with the 9,3x62, this caliber has not a bad recoil, hundred of thousands hunters use it every year in Europe without problem and some use it in Africa too. To learn control your rifle and get use to recoil, shoot some 250grs Nosler or 232grs Norma bullets. Don't concentrate on bench shooting, find a good load accurate enought, remember it's an hunting rifle and caliber not a bench rest one. Then fire it from REAL hunting positions. You will find that recoil is really managable. You can also add a Browning Reactar recoil tamer pad (or another one)to your shooting vest. Then when you're, ready choose the right bullet and train to connect with your "game lethal zone" size target. Try to find target that represent game cause in the wild there's no bull or X on game.
Good training. The best rifle is the one you manage and feel best with. Better a 9,3 throught the shoulders than a 416 Weatherby in the paunch....
