Good Thoughts!! I willconsider that!

From another forum--

Re: 9.3x62 Rifles [Re: sweet swede]
#532377 - Wed Apr 21 2004 07:17 PM

The 9.3x62 is roughly equivelant to a 36 "Whelen Improved". The shoulder is .102 forward of the 35 Whelen and has less taper. Case capacity is 74.87grs of water for the 9.3 and 72.63 for the 35.
Factory ammo is typicaly underloaded for the 9.3 in deferance to the older Mausers that can be found in this caliber. I beleive SAAMI spec for the 9.3 is 55K psi vs. 62.5k psi for the Whelen (you may want to double check these).
Judicious handloader can easily exceed 2600fps with 250gr bullets vs 225 for the Whelen, and 286gr bullets can be loaded to comfortably exceed 2400fps, so it is a good bit more potent than the Whelen.
Both Norma and Lapua make superb quality brass for the 9.3 at 50% higher prices than one would expect for whelen brass.
The 9.3 would be the world-wide choice and is a somewhat superior round. The 35 Whelen would be the all-american choice for those who don't handload.......DJ
