I began guiding in Alaska 43 years ago with a 375 H&H and decided to give the 9.3x62 a try almost 30 years ago.
I have killed a lot of big bears with both and "know" the 375 has to be a better killer. But I have seen no examples to prove it.
If a fellow was to build a 9.3x62, what barrel length would you recommend?
My primary 9.3 is 20.5", which I find ideal. 2400 with 286s, 2500 with 250s.
I’ve thrown the idea around of having a rifle bored to 9.3 by JES. I’ve been stuck on 21.5” in my head. With Sitka saying 20” is almost too long in the nasty stuff it has be rethinking things. First, I’d have to find a candidate I liked to rebore though. My .338 WM does what I need it to, but I also like to be different.
