@Rare Breed What bullet are you using?

Speer 270 grains for my leopard hunt

Bummer, Moz will not allow anything less than a 9.3x62 to hunt a leopard so it was either my 375 H&H or 9.3x62 and I much prefer the latter. I wanted to take my Rigby 275 Rigby but not allowed

@Rare Breed What bullet are you using?

These bullets are the old version of Peregrine bullets...I still am looking for a suitable bullet for hunting. I think the answer is a BARNES bullet ..I will make a choice before next year hunting season..Rhino bullets here in SA is another possibility.

Gert I think you will find just how well the x62 is just a great all around rifle. Very easy to load for.

AZDAVE, I agree, it already is a joy to re-load for..

I took the 9.3 x62 to the shooting range, my children love shooting so whenever there is an opportunity to do some shooting we use it..This is where we are forming our opinions about the different calibers and their performances.
I took the 9.3x62, .577/450 Martini Henry , SAKO .300WM and the Mauser 8x57 JS to the range....the Mauser .22LR did an excellent job to teach marksmanship to the women in our group at the range. Rifles are instruments that makes life worthwhile , beautiful rifles even more so..creating memories in my family. We had a great day....
