Sorry I don't have much to contribute to this thread, but that's a oddball! Do you own one?

I found this thread. It would be a 375-06 / Whelen right?

Don't bother, do a 9.3X64. That is a righteous little powerhouse. .340 wby move over!-Rob

The 9,3x62 opened up to 9,5/.375 is the .375 Hawk/Scoville. It has a shorter neck than the .375 Whelen, and hold slightly more powder.
A super cartridge for the people that are able to admit to them selves that they do not hunt outside 200 yards.

I have used a 9.5x62 (aka 375 Scovill) for seven years and get an honest 2400fps with 300 gr partitions which is the same velocity I get with my 375 H&H using Rem factory ammo.
It is a great round if you like wildcats but the difference between it and the 9.3x62 are insignificant in the real world.

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

The reason I was thinking about this was as a possible rebore of a 9x57mm.
