I have also a 9,3x57 with a medium-to-heavy-weight 22" barrel and find this rifle nearly ideal for driven game hunts for game up to boar (upto 50kg) and for tree-stand hunting for max 150m.
(I shot a poaching cat at laser measured 140m, but I think that luck was also involved...)

A cheap, but precise bullet from Speer (270grs Semi-Spitzer) will mushroom, but not overexpand (270grs / 650 m/s with Kemira N140) at this velocity.
I shot some roe deer and two foxes with the Norma bullet 232grs PPC Vulcan with good performance.
Recoil is very tolerable with a 232grs bullet at 710 m/s => 3600 Joule (Kemira N130).

Iīm very satisfied with the rifle and the seleceted caliber.
If I really need more power, I will go for my 9,3x64.
Thatīs my single reason for not buying a 9,3x62, because the other two calibers do all tasks so well...

best regards
Rolf
