smithrjd,

TRUE. Moreover in Denmark, Finland, Norway & Sweden, where commercial hunting for moose/reindeer/caribou is lawful, the old 9.3x62mm & its "little brother" the 9.3x57mm are popular as neither caliber destroys much salable meat.

Fwiw, I use either my home-brewed 280 grain GCCB at about 2,000FPS or the 286 grain grain factory ammo for every sort of big game, that a big-bore rifle is suitable for. = Either sort of bullet hits "like a sledge-hammer between the eyes".
