Ray - That's what I was looking to hear. With that said, it looks like the 9.3x62 is exactly what I'm after.

It would also seem to fit nicely with my philosophy about rifles and the cartridges they're chambered for. I obviously go for the lower-recoling numbers, but I don't like to sacrifice performance on game. I also like my rifles to "back each other up" in terms of having a bit of overlap, but being just different enough to where each rifle fills certain niches rather commandingly. It would seem the 9.3x62 would make a good backup for my .338 Federal, but will obviously get the nod over the Fed for the heaviest or danerous game.


What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?
