Once again, a Campfire thread on two VERY similar cartridges ends of up even longer than average, and like a rock rolling downhill, collects slightly more moss.
However, DaShadows last couple of lines proves rifle loonies still have a very fine sense of proportion--as in, why not two rifles in very similar chamberings? This allows us to argue endlessly, especially about (maybe) 10% difference in powder capacity--which amounts to 2.5% difference in velocity with the same bullet weights. Which amounts to maybe 60 fps.
Thank you for validating my decision to dump my 35s for 36s, John.
One thing that I might mention is that all five 9,3X62s I've owned, some just garden variety old Husqvarnas, shot much better than the 4 Whelens I've owned over the years. The worst of my 9,3s shot better than the best of my Whelens, and I worked like a dog to get the 35s to close up the groups.
Is the 9,3X62 inherently more accurate?
