Help me decide: 9.3x62 or .375 H&H
      05/01/04 10:33 AM

So I'm looking at these CZ rifles, and I really like what I'm seeing.

I've found some pricing and such, and it seems that the .375 H&H will be about 200 more, and I'm trying to justify if it's worth that.

Gun will mostly be used for shooting elusive dirt clods, thinning out the milk jug population, and possibly be used to split some chunks of wood too. Either would be good enough for all North American game I think. It will also be my gun for hog hunting as well, although either caliber should be overkill. I may also take it black bear hunting, and our black bears can get over 700 lbs here (state record is 880 but thats the only one I've seen over 800, and over 600 is really good). Most likely I wouldn't even see a bear over 400 lbs, but it never hurts to be ready I dont plan on hunting Africa anytime soon, so that's practically a non-issue.

I'll be handloading for either because it saves money, I can load them down, and its impossible to buy 9.3 off the shelf around here. The local gun store owner was actually sort of standoffish when I enquired about a 9.3x62, and he made it clear that he "would not be responsible for supplying ammunition."

Right now I'm leaning towards the 9.3, but bullet selection and reloading information is pretty hard to find, especially compared to the .375 H&H. I've found 3 different types of brass. Supposedly the 9.3 can have headspace problems due to not much neck, does anyone have expirience with this? Where would be a good way to find what resizing dies work the best for it?
