Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska 9.3x62 vs 375h&h

Looks like 1/7/2022,@ 3-Bears in Big Lake, Alaska..... Lj Ok, my Bad, 3-Bears Knick-Goose Bay Rd.[u][/u]

Is this ammo a true style bronze point bullet i wonder.

If extra barrel length was an asset all the military door kickers and police SWAT teams would not bother with carbines.
And in the dense alder/willow pucker brush wounded brown bears hole up in I know for a fact that shorter barrels give you an edge ! A shorter overall length is also the primary advantage African PH's list for double rifles !

I dont know about Alaska but recall living in Maine and I dont see how.4 inches of barrel makes a whit of difference when that big.buck clears out and.you try.to get a quick shot off at his quickly fleeing form.

LMFAO!
And well stated. Been there.

I snapped the pic last night just before the store closed at 10 pm

here's a close up .....

That is very interesting. The original bronze point was like a ballistic tip only it had a metal bronze tip instead of plastic. I thought the bronze tip was done away with years ago. But a true bronze tip in 9.3x62 would be very unusual. thanks

I see after it says 285 gr. it says psp so im guessing its a plain remington bullet

Ok,,,,, I shoot this load in my 30-06 180gr BP, same box design, the PSP is Power Soft Point, but it's still got the Bronze Tip, better hurry-up like a Bunny, and get those, while the gettin is Good...Lj Ok, PSP= Pointed Soft Point......

To far for me to drive up after them. Im in the lower 48. lol

I have seen it make a difference more than once with different length barrels and I am not ever carrying both.

Uhhhh... that was not his left "but"

I carried both and it paid off once. While working a moose kill a 7 footer came and my rifle was out if reach, but my 475 Linebaugh revolver was in my shoulder holster. Jimmy shot first and the bear went down and came up like he was spring loaded, I fired and the bear went down and never got up again.

I can seen a difference from a 26" barrel to a 18 or 20. But a 22 to 20 I don't see that being much of a difference

Ha ha. Fat fingers.

That’s what I get for not proofing.

Proof is for whisky!

OK! THIS THREAD IS GETTING STUPID!!!

Hip

What caliber did you end killing the bear with? How did you like the performance of the 475 linebaugh on the bear charge?

Whose hands are pulling your strings?

The 475L with a wide meplat hardcast is impressive on large game. I shot Moose Bison and Asian Buffalo with it and hit hits like the hammer of Thor.

The 500L and the 50JRH do hit a bit harder to me. I mean you can see the ribs push in more on impact

In my experience there is a significant step up in impact over a 454
