I am sure rifle loonies like Keith and Whelen knew of the 9.3's but metric designations have never been popular with Americans. At least until the Creedmore era 😜.
Which explains my son's tongue-in-cheek naming of the 9.3x62.
But the 35 Whelen and 9.3x62, when loaded to identical pressure levels, are mighty close, especially with the new loads from Buffalo Bore.
So cool to see this thread revived a decade later. I am in the process of "splitting the difference" and having a Pre-War Springfield rebored to 9.3x62. Now I am seriously considering having "Euro Trash" engraved on the barrel. Hilarious!
Cheers,
