Well, Mainer, since you have mentioned your visit here in 2011, it's time we did that again. I'm sure we both have a few more 9.3X62 stories to tell since then.

Pretty sure I have posted this picture since you were here, a 270 gr Speer started off at well over 2500 fps taken from under the skin of a 60+" moose shot at about 25 yards.

Have heard they are too soft for big game, but this bullet broke ribs on each side, and still weighs close to 200 gr.

Having said that, most of my hunting is with plain vanilla 285 gr or Matrix 270 gr bullets started of a well over 2300 fps. Your 300 gr Swift is obviously a reliable hunting bullet, and the lest expensive part of your hunt, as well. Good stuff!

Let me know when you are coming over. The burbot are moving! Called this one up from seven feet. wink

Best,
