Looking at reloading data and noslers 286 grain bullet this cartridge looks like it would be be a good choice for moose and would be a good choice for brown bear too.
What do you guys think?

It is...think of it as being between a 35 Whelen and a 375 H&H.

The sole purpose of a rifle is to please its owner

I think very much of it, so I bought a gun.

CZ 550 Stutzen ( full stocked ) in 9.3x62. It�s a dandy to carry, the trigger is super, but for maximum from the 9.3 cartridge, I sometimes wish i had chosen the longer barreled model.

Perhaps after some game shot, i might buy a second one??

Good shooting! H

RMiller.....Somebody, I believe it was Ray Atkinson, described it as " a .35 Whelen on steroids"...

In any case, I bought a CZ 550 American and plan to try it out on Alaskan moose and caribou next September..

I haven't tried the Nosler partition, but it would be an excellent choice..My rifle is very accurate with all bullets I've tried, but the best performer so far is the 250 Barnes X bullet.....I'm getting half inch three shot groups at 2500 fps....Never expected varmint rifle accuracy out of that rig, nor do I need it, but it is the most accurate hunting rifle in my cabinet....

Hi!

Maybe the best bullet will be Swift A-frame 250grains. It`s a better bullet than the Partion and it will also give you higher speed

Search under 9.3x62 and you will get a shedload of info all of which is positive.

Hi,

the old 9,3 will all the things do you want!
Its no problem to get about 5000J out of a 24" barrel.
I would suggest the 15g Oryx-very often used in Germany- or the 250grs A-Frame.
