ryoushi,
At my age & with (at least somewhat) failing eyesight, I wouldn't even consider shooting at a game animal anymore beyond 250M, so (for me at least) that's not a consideration.
( I wonder how much difference in trajectory that there is between the 2 calibers, if the 9.3x62mm is loaded with the 232 grain "Oryx" spitzer.)
Also, I don't like chasing game in the dense brush, so the old-school 9.3x62mm with the 286 grain JSP anchors even a BIG boar, moose, elk, etc. quickly & often (presuming a decent hit with the 286 grain bullet) they fall/expire quickly.
(Fyi, I'm a "heavy bullet guy".)
Note: Back in my youth, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth (CHUCKLE), I got a chance to take a IIB Hirsch/Red Deer in BRD, with a borrowed 9.3x62mm Husky. - I was IMPRESSED with how well that one 285 gr bullet did at 132 long steps from the tree-stand. = He took 2 steps & COLLAPSED, as if "pole-axed"..
yours, tex
