Well Done!

A very much under rated cartridge by many.....one of the greats, heaps of loading data out there...enjoy

One of the best cartridges for all round use in North America and Africa in my opinion. Sort of like a .338 but a larger bore. Not a long distance cartridge, but still respectable at normal hunting ranges. A great driven game and brush hunting cartridges. Almost equivalent to the .375 H&H Magnum. And in normal length actions. Will handle bear, moose, elk, large African antleope, water and cape buffalo, could be used on elephant, and also a great choice for boar and pigs. Of course will handle any deer species.

But I don't own one! Ha ha, armchair spoeaking ... have thought about one many times. I do have a 9.3x74R as well so you know what that does. The 9.3x62 has a great reputation.

I would get a barrel for one for my Mauser M03, but I have a Mannlicher in 9.5x57 on the way thanks to an NE member, so perhaps will have to make do with that. Looking forward to it.

The Sako Safari rifles also look very fine. Congratulations.
