I hate to see the 9,3x64 and the 8x68S disappear more and more from factory rifles. They were both far ahead of their time seeing as they are both basically beltless magnum cartridges. I view the 9,3x64 as somewhat of a precursor to the .375 Ruger albeit being a little weaker. The trend of "use .308 for everything" is particularly vicious here especially with the proliferation of suppressors and shorter barrels. I still have my little .22 HP, though and am happy that I can keep it fed with factory ammo, though.
