Re range.
I have used my 9,3x74R [as well as my 450/400 3 1/4" and my 450No2] on non dangerous game, and not found any limitations or disadvantages compared to similar bolt rifles.

Bottom line is, I think doubles are superior to bolt rifles for most hunting.

One exception being long range shooting. [Again I have not hunted with a Magnum double rifle].
