In my own .375/06IMP, very similar to the 9.3x62 - has almost identical case capacity and is useable with identical pressure in a good Mauser action to the 9.3x62.
: My own 9.3x62 easily ran over 2,500fps with 286gr. bullets, and this new .375 of mine does the same. I haven't even explored BLC2 in it yet, and will probably add amost another 100fps, but why?
; Wit 300gr. bullets doing 2,470fps, it is capable and powerful enough to shoot large game out to 300 yards. At that range, there is little difference in higher BC bullets - not enough for the game to know the difference.
; I use a lazer range finder for lo0nger ranges, but has an absolute maximum range on large game of 300 yards, and the range finder really isn't nessary at that range.
: 300 yards means only a 13" holdover - something that won't even raise the cross-hairs above the spine of a moose or elk. The bullet will be under the hide on the off side and the animal probably won't go 50 yards and it will be dead.
: To answer your question directly, yes - about any descent weight 9.3 bullet is capable of long range shooting of large game to at least 300 yards. I hold, that prudent hunters would rather do their hunting before squeezing the trigger, than after, or even, as many do, try to guess whether or not they even hit the animal due to it's 'reation' to the shot. I hear it too often from guys who try longer range shots.
