Good question, FOst.

I guess the 9.3. Wouldn't want to kill them too dead... shocked

Plus, the 9.3 will be a pound lighter than the .404J.

I've been studying bullets. I think those soft cup and core Hawk 350 gr. .404 bullets would be great for soft skinned stuff. Check them out on line if you're not already familiar with them. They look interesting for local hunting with a big boomer.

I'm probably going to work up 250 NAB loads for the 9.3. Those have great B.C.'s and the 500 yd trajectory is really good for a medium bore. They have 1,800 ft. pounds of K.E. at 500 yds. and one turn of a CDS will reach out that far.
