Just want to clear up one little misconception that appeared on this thread: The 9.3x62 was NOT designed to fit into a .30-06 length magazine, but an 8x57 length magazine. That was it's whole purpose, to provide a relatively powerful yet inexpensive rifle that could be built on the standard 98 sction for German settlers in Africa. You will find that any factory 9.3x62 ammo (even Nosler's) will fit in a standard 8x57 98 action.
That said, if I were only hunting non-dangerous game in North America I'd leave a good 9.3x57 alone. The 9.3x57 is so close to the relatively mild 9.3x62 factory loads that there is no practical difference. Only when the 9.3x62 is loaded up to 60,000+ psi does it become the functional equivalent of the .338 Winchester or .375 H&H, and darn few of us really need one of those.
