9,3 x 74 vs 375 FLANGED DOUBLE

Questions to all please-

Is one really preferable to the other?

Do the 375 flanged ballistics-300 gr at 2250 fps give it any real advantage over the 9.3 with its 286 gr at 2150?

Are both adequate all purpose Doubles for everything up to maybe ele? Which would you prefer? Which is easier to reload components for?

Which one would have the highest resale value?

Much thanks to all beforehand on any thoughts on this comparison.It is appreciated.

Well, it's for sure if you have any intention of buying factory ammo the 9.3 wins hands-down. You will never see .375 Flanged on the shelf.

But everybody thinks the .375 Flanged carries such mystique!

You choose.

I would prefer the 375 although there probably isn't much difference between the two and the 9.3 would be much easier to find brass for.

9.3X74R, hands down winner! A great little round that has taken a bunch of game all over the world. Chapuis makes a great entry level double rifle. Put a claw mounted scope on the Chapuis and you are ready to go. Factory ammo readily available as well as all the components.

I would prefer the Holland, for nostalgia. the 9.3 is easier to find ammo for and is nearly as good ballistically. It is also can be made in a slimmer and handier configuration.
