Would a hot loaded 9.3x62 approach the factory .375's? Just curious. I have a Mauser that I was thinking of putting a 9.3 x 62 barrel on.
Check John Barsness' writings on that subject. From what I gather, he's killed a bunch of stuff with that round and has pet loads for the 250 gr. NAB and 286 gr. NPT. Performance with those enhanced loads gets pretty close to .375 H&H performance. Now, I guess one could push the H&H and widen the gap.
I'm building a 9.3x62 on an FN military Mauser action using a #3 contour CM Shilen at 22". Jim Kobe is working on it as we speak. I also have a Winchester Super Express in .375 H&H and some would think that would be a duplication. The Mauser will be a full pound or more lighter, all up, reportedly kicking less and killing stuff about as dead.
I'll post info comparing the two.
