Good show! Please give us a further report.

As for rechambering a x57 to x62, I wouldn't, and didn't.

I use cheap Remington component 8x57 brass, make one pass thru the Hornady 9.3x57 sizer die and load. I neck-size only and the cartridge is exceedingly simple to load uses little powder and kills efficiently.

With 285 grain bullets, I get an honest 2100 fps in my 146 and performance on game {several whitetail deer, elk and black bear & coyote and small varmints} of the Prvi Partizan bullets has been excellent from 25 yards to 225. The 9.3x57 is regaining popularity in Sweden with the growing population of boar. Norma loads it, offering a couple excellent loads. I stick to handloads, but I believe RWS also loads it?

The difference between the x57 and x62 is similar to that between the .308 and .30-06. Keeping shots on your moose to 200 yards or less, I doubt the animals will ever know the difference.

The 9.3x62 is an excellent cartridge and nothing bad can be said about it. But rechambering a x57 to x62 requires the use of x62 cases which if bought are more expensive than cheap 8x57's, and if formed from '06, the x62 case, while not difficult, requires a more complicated procedure.

In case you haven't noticed, I like the 9.3x57!!
