gunner500,
ImVho, "efficiency" is the BEST feature of the old 9.3x62mm, inasmuch as you cannot kill a game animal deader than dead. Also, the "old-school round", even in a light rifle, "won't kick your head off".
(I have another Model 760 in .30-06, with badly pitted bore, that will soon be headed to JES to be cut-down to a barrel-length that fits better under the leg than the 22" barrel does, for hunting on horseback. - YES, 4-5" does make a difference when in the saddle.)
Yup, don't have my load book handy but 320 grains at 2400+ fps is a hell of a bang for the buck with the paltry powder charge in the '06 sized case, have a 400 Whelen that kicks out 400 gr Woodleighs at 2255 fps on same case size, the little 358 Winchester does it on a 308 Winchester sized case with 48 measly grains to boot a 200 gr TTSX to 2700 fps, talk about efficient with low muzzle blast, not to mention top shelf accuracy.
