Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 370 Sako Magnum: Why?

Hello,

I don't know why it is said "the 9,3x64 duplicates (or even surpases...!) the .375 H&H". I don't want to start a big debate about this differences, but what I said is because the case capacity of the, 9,3x62, 9,3x64 and .375 H&H are, roughly: 74 grs, 84 grs, and 95 grs in that order. And the USABLE case volumes have roughly the same differences. So, the 9,3x64 falls just in the middle between the 9,3x62 and the .375 H&H. Period. Loaded at the same pressure in barrels of the same length, it is impossible to get the same maximum safe velocity of the .375 H&H with the 9,3x64 Brenneke with same bullet weight. Of course it can be duplicated but using 286 vs 300 grs respectively. If the 9,3x64 cartridges or cases availability where not so difficult, to me it would be the best of this trio!
