Definitely overthinking. Been in a remote work camp since mid November working nights shifts, dont have much to do but read things on the internet and overthink. Appreciate the advice! Same to you good luck hunting!

Shouldn't even have said 500- let's go 300 for the max distance and anything else is a hail Mary. Also just recently was able to aquire some factory ammo for the 416, 400 TSX and A-frames. The trajectory when zeroed at 200 yards to 300 yards seems similar between the 416 and the 375. The 375 is...

Gentlemen! Thank you for your replies, all very awesome. In regards to 500 yards shots, very rarely will this ever happen and I hope it doesn't. However have been apart of situations where clients wound an animal at closer distances, somehow manage to miss all other shots and run out of ammo...

Thank you! Nice to see the 9.3 getting so much love compared to the more modern cartridges.

Thank you guys for your responses, much appreciate the various knowledge and experience you all have.

Hard to have nice things these days! Lol

Thank goodness there's no Cape Buffalo! Mainly moose and caribou and bear and some stones sheep.Thanks for all the help ActionBob.

Appreciate the offer! Will keep it in mind. Haven't thought about driving down to the states, tried to get an outfitter friend to pick some up for me in texas at the DSC but apparently there's paper work involved and a whole hassle involved with bringing it up, but thats just what I was told...

Thank you sir! Awesome response. I have lots of ammo for both. In 9.3x62 Norma 286 and 325 grain Oryx as well as their 286 grain Alaskan bullet. Which would you recommend? I had a client once shoot a big bear with the 286 grain cheap Prvi soft ammo and it grenaded on hard bone. Will avoid that...

Thank you for the great reply. Will not consider the solids any more. Only reason was because other than the 450 woodleighs they are lightest grain I could buy in factory ammo. I have about 10 boxes of the 270 SP-RP and I think 4 or 5 of the DGX bonded. Do you think the 270's would be a better...

Part of the problem right now in Canada, and I'm sure it is in your part of the world, is the availability of components, is a very big issue with getting into reloading these days. I also just really like guns and have the fantastic problem of not knowing which one to use! The 9.3's are old...

300 yards is really out of my comfort zone for shooting at big game but as you know game can cover ground fast. If the client is ok with me backing him up I'm case he makes a mistake, a 300+ yard shot can become very possible very quickly with a retreating animal

Unfortunately do not have the facilities to reload at this time

Thanks for the reply! That is a cool looking rifle!

Thank you!! That's exactly what I was wondering about and I feel the same way about the wanting a bigger hole when you're in the tight stuff or its dark. I feel the most confident with a 458 WM in my hands but last season a gentleman wounded a moose, and we were lucky enough to get back onto it...

Absolutely it helps! I think most of those typical calibers will work under normal hunting situations. My clients are the one shooting in those perfect situations and more often than not results in very dead game. I am talking about the odd time when it's an "oh crap momemt" and we are dealing...

Thank you for the reply. I have been wondering if it is redundant to go higher than the 338/300 for shooting game from all angles and that there isn't a magic "make them sit down cartridge". I own a 300 WSM that has the new terminal ascent bullet (modern bear claw with a fancy tip and boat tail)...

Also curious about the impact energy of the 416 with a solid compared to the 375 with an expanding bullet

Hey guys! Guide from Canada here, moose and all bears from black to white are the main topic. Currently have rifles in 9.3x62, 375 Ruger, 416 Rem, and 458 win mag. For mountain hunts ranging from 5-300+ yards, backing up hunters on poor shots off carcasses and tracking wounded in tight cover...
