On this board the 9.3 is revered to the point of cult status. I never much cared for either the 62 or the 74, mainly because there are calibers out there more specifically the375 H&H that can do it better, albeit impercetibly so. I think the real difference is in availability and there the 9.3X74 has it all over the 375 Flanged. So the question is how do the two calibers compare in terms of velocity and sectional density? For me if I were to build a double in a light caliber, for a variety of reasons not the least of which is nostalgia, it would be the 375 Flanged. jorge
would love the 9.3 if Weatherby had made one!
A .375 flanged could be built on a very slim frame. With 24" barrels it would be as snappy to use as 28 gauge SxS in a quail field. It could be a magic wand.
