9.3x62mm African gun

[bsterns]

I had some problems with the reloaded casings being damaged in the 9.3x62mm so I sent it to the gunsmith that made up my 280 remington, 338-06, and 22-250. He checked it out and there was excessive headspace resulting in excessive recoil and casing damage. He had to rechamber it. I should have it back next week. It has a 20 inch barrel and is really a pleasure to carry and to shoot especially in the brush or velt. The 30-06 length cartridge feeds like butter in a 30-06 or Mauser sized action. It is a Mauser caliber so it will work great in the Mauser 98 magazines without any modifications. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a moderately big caliber rifle to shoot moose or the big bears or perhaps a trip to Africa. On smaller game it does less meat damage than your fast smaller calibers. Here is a good link that describes it and compares it to the 375 H&H.
