Anyone using 9.3x66 Sako/.370 Federal Magnum

Heard about this and have seen ammo for sale but have heard no reportage on this caliber, which should equal 9.2x64.
Any enlightenment from those with first hand experience?????

As loaded by the factories it pretty well splits the difference between the 9.3x62 and the 9.3x64.
I have had one hunter bring one up using Federal ammo

Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship

I shot a couple of animals with some of the first commercially loaded Federal ammo back in 2008. The elephant and buffalo had no complaints as they both went to sleep right away.

Thanks, just wondering as I have never seen any write ups in any magazine on the caliber.
