Ol joe want legendary bear guide used a double rifle down on kodiak when guiding clients. Here we are worried about 5 in the mag, here is a novel idea learn to shoot better, and make the first shot count. Pass me a model 70 classic in a 30/06 with either 180 partition or 200gr partition for kodiak i will use a model 70 stainless classic in a 375 H&H. When I hunted in the Yukon, my host required that I hunt with an empty chamber for safety sake. I had no problem with that but was down by one round count in my 375 compared to his 9.3x62. With an empty magazine, it was a real advantage to have the smaller case and thus more in the magazine. So between the both of you, you had 9rds for whatever went sideways?
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I guess. Ted Can you all hunt brown bears in the Yukon Territory? So far from what I read only thing killed were moose's and caribou's? Let's be honest we all know, they aren't hard to kill..

Pass me a model 70 classic in a 30/06 with either 180 partition or 200gr partition for kodiak i will use a model 70 stainless classic in a 375 H&H. Your thinking is generally sound but there are some festivals where six rounds of .375 level power are handy, such as an aggressive sow brown bear with older cubs that decide to follow momma’s aggression. Six rounds are also nice when four deer come in to the call at once, or you meet a family of river otters. So you are saying you can get 5-6 rounds off accurately at a charging brown bear? With cubs? Each situation is different, but yeah, as needed I can and have put multiple rounds on charging brown bears. I've not yet fought one with the 9.3x62, but have used the H&H with 300gr Noslers alot. In my experience you shoot the middle of the brown blur coming at you with something big enough to make a difference. They don't like that. I always expect one to keep coming after they take a hit, and though it's happened to a couple guys I know, mine have always gone ass over elbows and then tried to run off. That's when I find it a good idea to keep shooting, alot, to prevent tracking. The exception is a sow with big cubs, in which case you should get the first bear incapacitated or dissuaded and then be ready to deal with the others. In these scenarios I find one can empty a bolt action rifle quite quickly. One time when a medium boar came at me I centered him at 12 yards. He fell down and tried to run off, whereupon I raked him with the remaining two rounds. He was still kind of ambulatory at that point so the quickest thing to do was throw another round in without pushing it into the magazine (thank you Model 70 classic stainless for your beveled extractor design!), slam the bolt closed, and shoot him again before he got out of sight, then reload. So anyway, when I say I like more rounds available it's based on some experiences........ You'll like that 640 as a 9.3x62, I'm sure.

Yah that 640 rifle will be nice. Id like to see it when its done up 79s.
I too have rattled through five rounds in quick order and have been happy it was a five-down rifle.
Up Northwest Arctic on the Baldwin Peninsula: Stopped the dog team in from of a small herd. 20-30 mph winds. Ambient temps around 20 below. First caribou down at 100 yds. Another at a good distance further and needed a finishing shot. Another caribou some 400 yds off with a clear miss. That open treeless country is deceiving. Last and final shot I held the thick part of the crosshair square on the nose. Final round rang true.
3 caribou, empty rifle.

Ted sorry had to post this pic of young Ted again. Ted,s a bad influence hang around him and you will be buying a 9.3 X 62 and maybe a freighter canoe. Ted tell us about your old 9.3 X 62 that had no safety as I recall. Kurt Kurt and Ted, that's one of the neatest pictures, should be on a calendar or at least hanging on my wall.BTW I now have 2 9.3x62s one a rebored 1917 done by Classic gun works holds 6 down so a seven shooter. The other is a newer Mark X not Interarms CZ maybe not sure of the barrel maybe a A&B. UNFORTUNATELY I haven't hunted with either as old age and be knees have pretty much limited me to a little rabbit hunting. But the shoot good and after a little work on the feed rails (thanks Art) they're both pretty smooth. --- Mel How about it being a Hamms beer poster.

With light loads using a cast 286 from an NOE mold, the 9.3x62 makes a dandy grouse rifle. I tumble lube quenched ww metal with alox and apply gas check. Both Trailboss and 5744 have given great accuracy. That bullet at 1350 knocks them dead and you can eat right up to the hole.
