I didn't mean to suggest the load was a dangerous load, as Daryl notes.

But it is darn good performance from a carbine.

Lots of folks think such shorties are guilty of poor or inadequate performance compared to the long tubers but first-users often become enthusiasts! I've fallen for my carbines and would love to have a 9.3x57 built on a Ruger action with a 17-inch barrel for a lot of my hunting here. My little 17-inch 6.5 is a dandy and a 9.3x57 like it would be a peach.

I've noticed a substantial amount of recoil reduction going from the x62 to the x57 case. A 9.5x57 would likewise be super, except with the 9.3 I can use 9.5mm/.375 bullets, too...as long as I resize them.

A 270/2300 is a darn good load for every critter we have here in Idaho and must be quite the Schweintoeter, too {if that's the right word...}.

The only thing wrong with kudae's carbine is...for me at least...IT HAS THE BOLT HANDLE ON THE WRONG SIDE!!!
