9.3x57mm Mauser. Anything based on the 7mm Mauser case is lighter recoiling, and this round was developed for larger game at modest ranges. My 286gr load clears the muzzle at 2020 fps and work fine out to 200 yds or so. It could easily stretch on out to 300, but that's beyond its point blank range. My Husky model 46A Mauser weighs 6 lbs 14 ozs. It's not unpleasant to shoot from the bench
