I kinda wished I’d have grabbed a 9.3x62.

Absolutely no idea what for. Just a cool cartridge in a cool rifle.

Much the same with the Whelen version

Given a choice, I'd rather have that rifle in 9.3x62, but the .35 Whelen is pretty close, ballistically. I have no need for either, of course. Would be cool to own and shoot, though.

An African in Hornet ?


America is (supposed to be) a Republic, NOT a democracy. Learn the difference, help end the lie. Fear a government that fears your guns.

Amazing how some people love to stand in front of the entire World, with a "I'm and idiot" sign around their neck.

While it is an one of my favorite calibers, its a heavy biotch! Damn near 8lbs naked which most will like Im sure, but I enjoy not lugging a 9lb setup around the woods scoped
