I'd seen where another person with experience said that of the Speer 270 when flung from the larger x62; I was hoping that perhaps the -400 fps through the x57 might help on that?

Good point! Now that I think about it, I would say that most of the shots I mention were indeed 9.3 x 62s (I know one guy in my hunting team uses a 9.3x57 and he killed 5 or 6 moose in recent years that I can recall, but I think the others have 9.3x62s.
I think you are right about a little less velocity being kinder to the bullets. I would bet that the 9.3 x 57 will be just fine with any bullet of reasonable sectional density for even quite large critters.
On the topic of reloading data: I checked my other computer's hard disk, and found no copy of an older Vihtavuori reloading manual (which might have had 9.3 x 57 data).
