Overkill is hard to accomplish, you failed in your overkill efforts with that elk! Likely you could nearly eat right up to the hole.

The 9.3x62 is a wonderful gun to have hunting deer here in Alaska where you might have a 200 yard shot an a buck or get in a fight with a brown bear at 10 yards. I really like the same spectrum of abilities the .375 has in an '06 sized gun with a six round capacity.
