As an avid 9.3x62 owner I am very envious of your purchase.

The 9.3x62 was developed circa 1906 (before the .30-06) for German colonial African residents to have a cheap cartridge that was big enough to clear game from future farming and grazing land and put meat on the table for pioneering families.

Germanys colonial holdings in Africa were comparable in size to the english and portuguese empires in Africa and the production of Mauser '98's in this calibre made them available to all.

Just like the .375H&H, it was designed to kill any large soft skinned animal on the planet.

Edit: The various 9.3mm calibres are popular in europe, particularly Scandinavian (and Germanic) countrys. In the last ten years the 9.3x62 has become more accepted in NZ, Australia and the USA as it's effectiveness and availablity has become rcognised.

Conversion of standard length magazine rifles requires little more than a re-barrel.
