9.3x62

I have a nice Verney-Carron takedown Impact Plus in 9.3x62 that's been on a couple hunts in Namibia and Mozambique. It's been deadly on a variety of game. And a Sauer 202 that I purchased recently. Bottom two rifles in the picture below. I like them both! Our tracker in Mozambique enjoyed shooting my V-C too!

For the Namibian hunt I used Norma Oryx 285 gr. factory loads & 2400 fps out of my rifle. Perfect performance on Kudu, Oryx, and Giraffe.
On the Mozambique hunt I used handloads with Ramshot Big Game, and Swift A-Frame 285 gr. bullets loaded to 2450 fps. Again perfect performance on Eland, Kudu, 2 Impalas, 2 Warthogs, and Bushbuck.
 
Thanks Longwalker.
After reading about those Oryx bullets and seeing the 1/16" thick guilding metal jacket on the 232gr. standard Norma, non Oryx, I figured they'd be top notch for about anything.

They work extremely well on deer and wild hogs. Haven’t had to shoot one twice yet. All shots have been through and throughs also.

Just moving to DM. Yes, please ask your friend if he knows somebody who might be willing to support a persistent hunt in the snow.

Hi Paul,
This is Daniel from Mankazana Safaris.

I saw your post regarding a hunt in Africa. I am sure you have been bombarded with messages and replies from other outfitters, so I will keep this one quick.
I have a feeling we have exactly what you need for a first safari.
If you'd like to hear more, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Yours sincerely,

If you ever decide to sell this rifle, I will buy it with the dies, bullet, brass, the works. Dan
