Regardless of it all, if you dump that 9.3x62 barrel, I think you are making a big mistake.

I agree. Hang onto it if you can.

I think a 9.3x62 with 286/320 gr will not be a lot lesser than a .375 H&H Mag. A couple hundred feet per second difference? My .375 H&H Mag with current loads only does 2450 fps with 300 grainers for example. I could try and build loads shooting perhaps 2550 fps, but the barrel is shortish anyway.

What does a 9.3 do with 286 grs? 2200 to 2400 fps? Would have to consult a reloading manual but not much difference.

If you want to see a worthwhile difference you will need to go to a .416 Rem Mag R93 barrel IMO.

I like the .375 but not a great difference. Haven't shot any big bulls with my 9.3x74R only cows and smaller bulls but they died well. Did try to pick better shots though. My 9.3x74R was pushing 286 grs at about 2150 fps only too.

However I do prefer the .450 for big stuff just because ...
