A couple of years back I put together a matched pair of "if I ever go back to Africa" rifles in 7x57 and 9.3x62. They are Interarms Mark Xs with Mannlicher-style stocks, Warne QR rings/bases, and Redfield 2-7x scope that Iron Sight Inc. in Tulsa serviced and installed their heavy/thick German-style reticle. Both rifles shoot good enough groups, even with the enormously thick reticles, and the 9.3x62 does particularly well with the 286 grain Partition over 55 grains of H4895.

I'm unlikely to ever shoot anything, or anyone, dangerous with either rifle, but I am confident that the 9.3x62 with 286 grain Partition has what it takes to penetrate deep and break bones on any of the plains game that I'd be interested in hunting.
