I reloaded for the 9,3 and found it to be an extremely tolerant (OAL did not affect it much as I had to load to box mag specs OAL) and inherently accurate calibre.

I once heard the 9.3x62 being referred to as a .375H&H for (insert dutch word for cats) who can't handle recoil. Apparently it is also woefully underpowered and unable to hit a target further than 100 yards away.

Re: .375 H&H vs 9,3x62.
There are some threads and pictures referencing this, I think one of Gert Odendaals threads also shows the particular rifle in question. Dr Kevin Robertson, author of the perfect shot is a fan of the 9.3x62 and has shot over 600 buffalo with the 9.3x62. Note as a hunting rifle, not as a "charge stopper".

If was not for the fact that the Germans lost the world wars the 9,6x62 would have been a much more prolific and represented calibre in Africa than the 375H&H.
A very well known USA gun person who has extensively hunted in Southern Africa and the rest of the world once told me that there is no animal walking this earth that the 9,3 cannot kill.

They had the might 9.3 and still lost, shows you what a good caliber like 45 ACP can do

Re: .375 H&H vs 9,3x62.
I think Rule 303 was mostly applied.
