When loaded with a tougher bullet pushed little faster, your 9.3 is a dangerous game capable cartridge in a handy, affordable package. My 9.3x62 is accompanying me to Mozambique in July, my fifth hunting safari. I hope you are as pleased with your purchase as I have been. Happy hunting!

My plan is to use the PPU for some local Alabama hunting, rifle practice and general fun like blowing up milk jugs.

For Africa I’m thinking TTSX, Aframes or solids(Cape buffalo) though I’m undecided.
