What comes before and after a 9.3 x 62?

[AZDAVE]

7x57
9.3x62
404 Jeff
505 Jeff in a bolt gun
500 NE in a double

add a good shotgun and a 22LR and you are set for hunting the world.

I'd suppose dissatisfaction comes before a 9.3 and frustration cones afterward. Something leads you to it and if some takes you away, then it is most often frustrating.
I could have said a .243 and a .375...but I didn't.

@Forrest Halley
I'm very glad you didn't mention that first caliber, If'n you did I would have to bitch slapping you.

bob,
what about a .222 necked up to 6mm with a slow twist barrel for 75 to 80 gn bullets for small game in bushveldt?
if it had a brake on it you would be able to see the hit.

[bruce moulds]

i overlooked one.
maybe a 22 hornet necked up to 25 cal and barrel twist to suit 70 to 87 gn bullets might be more within your moral gambit.

Already been done mate and in 25, 270 and 308.
It was done by Arthur Langsford who owned Myra's in broken hill.

@Bruce moulds
That ones been done to. If you need loading data for it give me a yell.
Don't forget the 25 Sharpes, a 223 necked up to 25.

I already have the trio I like... 7x64 Sako M85 Bavarian for smaller game and distant shots, 9.3x62 Verney Carron Impact Plus takedown for almost anything, and Merkel 140 AE, 450-400 3" Nitro express 3" for the big ones. I don't need anything bigger.

This sounds suspiciously like the 25 Myra or 25 Copperhead?

Had any experience with either?

Pat

 

[bruce moulds]

no, i just thought bob might prefer that to a 243.

I do own a semiauto in 9,3-62, a double in 9,3-74R and a bolt action in 9,3-64 Brenneke.
This is my solution, a Schultz and Larsen Victory with three barrels.

[Quaticman]

9.3 x 62 Mauser and .500 Nitro Express to hunt the World.

 

[Rell]

A 3 gun battery … cringe

Simply not enough.

22LR
7x57
9.3x62
450-400 3”
28g
12g

The absolute bare minimum!

 

[Bonk]

Old thread but since it's been resurrected I'll chime in. All the rifles I chose I already own. Technically the 404J is being created as we speak but I'm counting it.

404J
9.3x62
7x64B

 

[Tom Dissinger]

As much as I hate to admit it, I just sold my 9.3 and have been having trouble sleeping since. Interestingly, the gent who bought it is older than I am, and I just turned 75. Just goes to show....

A 20 ga. would reduce your almost perfect list by one. IMO.

12g for ducks and geese …
28g for upland ….

20g for …. ?

 

[Odinsraven]

I have culled the herd - hardest job yet - letting go of some beautiful old friends -
303 404 505 is all that remains

303 Parker Hale Deluxe - 404 J Parker Hale - Safari and CZ550 505 Gibbs -

Everything. Modern loads (TSS, Etc.) make it the new 12 with less weight, less recoil, and WAY more availibility of ammo than a 28.

With modern loads.

I shoot 50,000 rounds a year on a slow year. You can’t find premium 20g and the cost or prohibitive anyways.

A light 28g SxS is sheer joy on upland birds and not shooting a 12g at fast flying ducks or big geese is nonsense.

We ALL have our opinions. That's why we're here.
