I agree. For the money, they seem a fine way to go.

I am hoping your (as well as from Daryl S.) input on the difference in the 57 & 62 is on. Recoil and I are no longer compatible. I have envisioned it being a easy going nimble iron sighted rifle with its everyday load of a 225-232, with a few heavies for the bigger stuff. A few DWM solids loaded up will be nice to have, if for no more than photo purposes.

As for the Serengeti, rest assured Stephen, it will happen. Should be many tags again this year.

Good show with the WT deer. But we all know the 9.3's are a forest cartridge and not capable of a 300yds shot .....

The only thing mine killed was a moose calf- 200yard, open sighted at that time. 270gr. Speer through his leg into the lungs.

Nice Daryl! Thanks for sharing. I use the 270 grain Speer as well. For me, it is about the most economical bullet available, and is pretty close to the standard 286 grain. This permits me to get out and shoot my various 9.3's quite often. Glad to see its performance on moose, though I certainly never doubted the Speer!

I added this one to they library a few years back. It's an excellent resource on Husqvarna's! It's in the Swedish language, but I've found it very easy to understand given some knowledge of the book's subject matter. It provides history, and a page or two of descriptions on each model with a picture or two. Chapters are organized by type such as: rim-fires, rolling blocks, shotguns, pistols, rifles, etc. Highly recommended!

It calls out a model 46, 46A, 46AN, 46B, 146, and 246.

That was just a baby bull moose - 6 months old, but the front leg bone the bullet went through, was over 2" in diameter. It removed 2 1/2" of length from the bone, then parts of it kept going into the boiler room. It was just 'enough' bullet, but I doubt it would have gone through an adult moose's leg bone. The impact velocity was only about 1,800fps. Rod thought it worked just fine, but I always felt it was too thinnly jacketed - and it is thin. I think the 225gr. Hornady .375 sized down would be much better - a little flatter shooting and with it's 1/16" (.063") thick jacket, has proven to penetrate much better on all manner of materials & deer during Rod H.'s testing.
That shot, taken through the leg was the only one presented due to the angle and 200yard range or I wouldn't have shot him there. It worked - this time.
In retrospect, I would have preferred a bullet of tougher construction.

Nice freezer moose Daryl. My experience with the Speer soft points has been that they are too soft with that thin jacket and won't hang together that well, especially when they hit bone. Like you said, something a little tougher would be a better way to go.
