Big fat long bullets at moderate speed.......what's not to love?

The 9.3x62 is an easy prescription:

Aim, pull trigger, collect meat. Repeat as needed

Refills require authorization from the poobah


Guns don't kill people, it's mostly the bullets

Moose, yes, and in a pinch, it can be used on the biggest of the big. Here'e a copy of some correspondence I had with Kenneth Skoglund and Don Heath from Norma about a year ago. This is concerning the story posted on the Norma website about him stopping an elephant, with a single shot, that charged them while they were doing some video in Africa.

Good day, Kenneth, and greetings from the Yukon, Canada.

I have just read the exciting story on your website about Don Heath's
encounter with the elephant he had to kill. It is very well written.
However, some very important piece of information is missing that every
hunter would want to know: what caliber rifle was he carrying that day,
and what Norma bullet did he use?

Thank you for your time on this,
Ted



Not too shabby. Interesting that he was carrying his 9.3X62 rifle loaded with solids.
