S&B bullets are a bit suspect, based on my shooting them a lot in 9.3X74R, 9.3X62, 8X57 Jrs, 8X57 JR, 7X57 R, 7X57, and 6.5X57R.

I've shot at least several big game animals with each round listed, and the bullet performance was..meh..adequate for the most part. Their bronze tipped spitzer is an absolute fiasco! I and another member here witnessed that bullet fail to penetrate the shoulder of an average sized doe in Oklahoma. She took several hits and still ran off with a big hole in her shoulder meat. This was with a less than rocket 8X57JR.

What I'm saying is, for the 9.3X62 and it's potential, re-load with good bullets. The standard S&B cup-n-core bullet is fine for deer, antelope, etc., but none of their own bullets are all that, especially the bronze pointed ones. They do some loading with Sierra bullets in some calibers.
