My choice for the rimmed rounds is the 9.3x74R. I own a Chapuis UGEX in this caliber and used it to shoot my last two moose. It has been my go to gun since I bought it.

But I also a Remington Baikal 30-06 that will shoot 2 shots from each barrel under 1 1/4 inches at 50 yards and I plan on using it for deer and black bear. Rifle loves the 220 grain Hornadys.

Was planning on using my Searcy 450 NE on moose this coming fall but a shoulder injury is keeping me from shooting the big bores for awhile.

No matter what caliber you pick you will end up buying more as double rifles are an addiction. I have a VC 450-400 that should be finished soon and then I am stopping! (at least I tell myself no more)

My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.
