Hi since i picked up my 9.3 I have fallen for the calibre big time it is great so the question is how many others in Oz have discovered this fantastic cartridge?

SMLE,<br /><br />I have one a cz 550 lux, only a handfull in the country. It shoots great I whopped three animals with it in the last couple of days using speer 270 grainers. It hits like the hammer of thor with low recoil, and it shoots reasonably flat. I know everyone hates the speer 270 gr 9.3 bullet but I reckon it is great for grassy's and would be the choice bullets for pigs. I just can't like a plastic tipped bullet in such a fine old chambering <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I converted a Winchester 70 to 9.3x62. It's been on one hunt so far and managed to whack 4 scrubbies and a few brumbies. Certainly does the job.
I think you'll find more than a couple around. Seems quite popular with the sambar hunting crowd in Victoria. I called some of the bigger gun shops in Melbourne and all had ammo for it on their shelves.

I think for the majority it offers a better package than say the 35 whelen, and components are not that hard to source. Hopefully it will gather a following here !!

I have 2 - a Mannlicher Schoenhauer which belonged to my Father and a Sako 75 Stainless Synthetic. Both shoot extremely well and I know the Sako should be CRF but so far it has performed flawlessly.
