Tejano, pm sent. Yep, we're talking about 285 grain -320 grain bullets here.
Ole Yukoner Ted said it best: It's a 375 H&H, but with 5 in the mag.

That’s a hammer of a Bullet. I’d like to see a few bullets run into that torture box! Bet I can find some of them around here somewhere, I have a chitpile of recovered bullets from home testing, pistol and revolver too.

Good old caliber for heaver game. American version very similar is called .35 Whelen. It's considered less potent only because twist rate in rifles so chambered is suitable for lighter projectiles and heaviest commercial ammo is loaded with 250gr bullets. Frankly in America I would pick .338 WinMag instead. One of the finest chamberings in pre-64 Winchester is .338 Winchester Magnum (right next to .270 Featherweight) , avant grande!.

Except that the 9.3 kicks less than the .338 and is more powerful than the .35 Whelen. It's literally 97% .375 in a lighter gun with more capacity.

Ol joe want legendary bear guide used a double rifle down on kodiak when guiding clients. Here we are worried about 5 in the mag, here is a novel idea learn to shoot better, and make the first shot count. Pass me a model 70 classic in a 30/06 with either 180 partition or 200gr partition for kodiak i will use a model 70 stainless classic in a 375 H&H.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Well, yes, there have been a few guys ended up with 9.3s and freighter canoes over the years, There's no freighter here, but I did buy one of those buck69 Zastava barrels from Tradex in 9.3x62 this weekend. I blame you. That bbl came in today from Tradex. Looks good, no markings but was shocked to find that it was only about 0.552" at the muzzle. That is one lightweight barrel!

SuperCub, Yes the originals had a very thin contour barrels. Our 1922 oberndorf sporter with 23.6" barrel is lighter than my CZ 550 kevlar carbine with 20.5" barrel. So, your new barrel is on par with tradition. Pic 1: This year's 42 in. racked moose and camp being loaded out in an 18 ft freighter I built by hand. I used the CZ 9.3 Carbine. 300 grain swift A-frame recovered bullet posted back a ways in this thread. Pic 2: 7 lb oberndorf sporter with redfield 2-7. Original stock barrel and receiver:

Nice moose and boat. You don't see those freighters here in eastern Canada. Ted had two of them the last time I was in Whitehorse. They are cool boats. I have a JC Higgins here that will probably get that barrel someday and will be similar to yours but a lot less classic than an Orbendorf. Don't think I will be cutting that skinny barrel any shorter or saving weight overall with that bbl.

Supercub, you need to get out more! Looks like you're in New Brunswick. Go to the Miramichi River country and you'll see them in the river. Drop an hour or two south into Maine. You'll see them there too. If you look close, you'll see a hand weaved pack basket made by a gal in my tribe who was originally from Red Bank reserve in New Brunswick. My grandmother came from Eel Ground New Brunswick. Lotta canoe and basket makers in your neck of the woods.

I've seen the big river canoes on the Miramichi but the ones I saw weren't the big heavy freighters like I saw in the Yukon. I did notice that basket. You see them up north on the river not so much down here in the south.

Those 18' and 21' square stern freighters used to be fairly common in Alberta when I was still stomping around there. Good craft for moving water, with the right motor. I mostly paddle so had little use for them... but I once teamed with a few other guys in a paddling freighter (pointed at both ends), and let me tell you, 6-8 good paddlers can make one of those beauties really move, and haul a big load to boot!

Your thinking is generally sound but there are some festivals where six rounds of .375 level power are handy, such as an aggressive sow brown bear with older cubs that decide to follow momma’s aggression. Six rounds are also nice when four deer come in to the call at once, or you meet a family of river otters.

When I hunted in the Yukon, my host required that I hunt with an empty chamber for safety sake. I had no problem with that but was down by one round count in my 375 compared to his 9.3x62. With an empty magazine, it was a real advantage to have the smaller case and thus more in the magazine.
