Re: 9.3x62 vs 375 H&H

I personally think the original 9.3 x 62 loading of a 286 grain bullet at 2175 fps is the equal of the .375 H&H 270 or 300 grain loadings for all practical purposes. The .375 of course is flatter and the energy figures are higher, but I don't think game hit by either cartridge will note any difference. One could probably stretch this to include the 9 x 57 Mauser with 245 grain loading.

The same is true for whole classes of cartridges that are practically indistinguishable - 8 x 60, .318 WR, .338 Win. Mag, .300 Weatherby, etc.

I know the endless debates about cartridges and loadings keep the gun and ammunition makers happy, and I'm not opposed to that.

There is also the question of aesthetics. The .375 H&H is possibly the most beautiful cartridge of all time (270 and 300 grain loadings only), followed closely by the .400/350 Rigby and .350 Rigby magnum. The 9.3 x 62 and 318 WR are also pleasing to my eye. I don't care for sharply tapered cases like the Halger rounds, the .244 H & H, the Weatherby rounds, and many others too numerous too mention.
