None of which got off the ground because of the 375 H&H...
Phil Probably, but I was responding to this not whether they could out compete the .375. "Diameter of a bullet alone has little to do with a cartridge whole design and purpose. Both the 9.3x62 and 375 H&H were designed by country's colonizing Africa and for Africa, Not so with the 35, Also the 2 were designed in the same era. If you were to get specific on the 35 you'd have to wait another half century for the likes of the 358 Norma Mag, 358 STA and the likes."

I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

... I use 286 gr. Norma or Lapua bullets at 2400 fps. It served me well in Namibia last year for Kudu, Gemsbok, and Giraffe. Hey CastnBlast, Which specific Lapua 286 grain bullet did you use and on what game? Scoring a smoking deal on a bunch of Lapua factory ammo with their 286 Mega bullet, along with a couple hundred of the same loose bullets is what got me on the road to building my 9.3. But I haven't found too much on the field performance of those bullets and have yet to use them on game. Thanks, Rex I have used the Lapua Mega 286 gr. bullet for a couple of elk so far. Results were impressive ( but a small sample size). 100 & 150 M or so distance, tight behind the shoulder shots just missing the bone. Bullets were quick opening, gave deep penetration, and exit wounds. Short "death dash". I'd use them with confidence on moose or bears ( what they were designed for ) and African plains game.
