Ammo is expensive for a deer cartridge, a bit hard to find at times; reloading components are not readily available. The bullet used for this round is terrible in design...why a flat nose short, soft bullet for a break open gun?? It has very low power, and kills like all get out to 125 yards...

I have taken five mule deer with the 9,3X72R, all one shot kills. It performs like a 30-30 or 35 Remington...very similar to a 38-55. It just makes the legal threshold of 1000 foot-pounds energy at 100 yards, as used by many States for the minimum for deer, on up.

It suffers in design from its black powder birth...I love the round! Guns chambered for it tend to be light and graceful, and it doesn't kick the snott out of the shooter.
