I got onto the 9.3 bandwagon late. I had a 375H&H when I was 22 years old and I have killed a LOT of game with it, and shot it even for varminting, just to stay proficient with it. I shot the 1st barrel out of the gun and had to re-barrel it about 15 years ago. Overall I have absolutely no criticisms of it at all. From rabbits to buffalo I have never found myself wanting more.

So when I started to use (and see used) the 9.3X62 and the 9.3X74R I was quite surprised and impressed. So far I can't say I am seeing any real difference between how these two 9.3s kill and what I have seen from my 375 for 42 years, but the 9.3 holds 2 more rounds and kicks less. Maybe on a large enough animal I could see some, but up to moose and bison I'd say they work equally well.

Now I own four 9.3s. Two 9.3X57s, one 9.3X74R and one 9.3X62.

Safe to say I have come to really like the way they work for me.
