Re: Help me decide: 9.3x62 or .375 H&H

Hi I'm new to this website and from Brisbane, Australia.

If you're still yet to make a decision, you might like to consider the 375 (375/338) Chatfield-Taylor. I have one built on a Ruger M77. Although, being a wildcat, it is a bit more involved than just buying a factory rifle off the shelf, but the conversion is pretty straight forward for a gunsmith who has the reamer (I can recommend a gunsmith in Australia). It has the advantage of being able to be accommodated on a standard (30-06) length action and a shorter bolt throw than a magnum action. The ballistics are equivalent to 375 H&H or better.

Mine shot a 3 shot group just over 1" today at 100 yards using Hornady 270 gr spire points at about standard 375 H&H factory loads. Cases are easily form from 338Win Mag brass.
