Gentlemen

The shortage of brass for the 9,3X64 is fairly easy to get around for practical person. Use 338 win, 358 Norma, 300 win cases and turn off the belt in a late and neck up the case.

9,3X62 and 9,3X64 are great calibers that been living in the shadows of the new whizz bang rounds.

I need 9,3 but can't decide which

Maxman I used a early 1940s mauser 98 with german proof marks.I don't think the action was ever issued because it was absolutly perfect.I had Ralf Martini chamber and install the barrel. Timney trigger, model 70 style safety,Warne bases and rings hold a 1.5-4.5 Bausch & Lomb scope.Bottom metal is an all steel hinged floorplate originally off a MK10.This is all dropped into a Butler Creek synthetic stock. It will group under an inch with 250 gr Nosler BTs.I also have another load that groups 293 gr TUG bullets to the same point of impact as the 250 Noslers. I am also working up loads with 250 & 300 gr A-frames and 286 Partitions. The 270 gr Speer bullets shoot very well but they come apart at top velocities. bullets are no problem. I had Ralf order a supply of RWS brass. Shortly after that I found some more in an estate sale so I bought another 100 cases or so. I have also made 100 cases from 458 Win brass. Huntingtons in the US also have cases. CH4D supplied loading dies.

You will be very happy with the 9,3x62. I hunt quite a bit with a 9,3x74R double rifle that weighs 7 1/4 lbs without scope. I have killed several animals without the scope and I do not find the recoil a bother at all. Oh, and if you need more thump than the 9,3x62 do not waste your time or money on a 375 H&H. If you cannot do it with a 9,3x62 or a 9,3x74R, jump up to a 40 plus cal rifle. I am not saying anything bad about the 375, it is just that I feel IMHO that anything I COULD do with a 375 I could do with the 9,3. My 9,3x74R double rifle has become my favorite rifle under 40 cal. [I know I have said that before, but after my Africa trip with the 9,3 Chapuis I just cannot say enough nice things about it].
