Bro and I spent the day at our long range today, testing sights and loads in our 9.3x57 (his) along with my 9.3x62 (new Zastava bl.) and my .375/06IMP with new muzzle brake, not 28" bl. length with brake.

It used to jump 8" up off the front rest and make my groups 3 1/2" high unless I held onto the forend. Now, the stock recoils straight back - no climb with same poi held or not. Kinda neat.

He's shooting a load of mine with 285gr. Norma Alaskans running about 2,200fps, and I am running 300gr. RN Norma and Hornady Interbonds in my .375 IMP. My 9.3 is running some 250gr. Original Style Barns spitzers at about 2,600fps. not a hot load, but decent.

With his 286's and my 300's. we were hammering the 14" x 16" AR500 plates at 300 meters off hand. Loads of fun.

i also shot the M70 Winchester '06 with 180SST's running 2,745fps. Still running under an inch at 100 meters and easily hitting the 300 meter (328 yards) plate offhand. The plate is much smaller than an elk or moose kill area. 300meters is my limit on big game as it's easy and no guess work. We both carry pocket range finders.

The reason and lesson here, is to use what you are going to hunt with and become proficient with it BEFORE the hunt.
