till ww 1 it was so popular in germany that it get a special name: Foersterpatrone = forester cartridge.
Only the 8,15x46R get the same honour and was called with a own name: Schuetzenpatronen because it was allmost every time use in schuetzen rifles.
This are the only cartridges with a name anyone knows and understand.
Hunting law after WW 2 makes the 9,3x72R illegal for big game hunting in germany because it dont have the min. power of 2000 joule on 100 meters. Of course, modern powders bring it back in law again. anyone who have use it will tell you that it is a great hunting cartridge.
interessting note is that the once in america very popular 30-30WCF and the now in russia very popular7,62x39 Kal. are in the same class.
