Opinion: Straighter grain for the larger calibres.

I believe that a hunter does not shoot 9.3x62 and 375 H&H often enough to endanger a gun stock from cracking, regardless of wood grain. I don't think that there has been any experiments on this subject, only hunters experiences. In todays world, there is no one gun hunter, hunters have various guns and cartridges which they use in the field therefore, not many shots will be used in those magnums. I'm all-in-favour for fancy high grade wood.

True!! I know lots of guys/gals that shots between 2-4 rounds a year, 2 if they don’t kill anything and 4 if they need two shots to kill something hahaha so a rifle like that might see a total of 2 boxes of ammo in its entire life!!

I had experienced 40 rounds of 9.3x74R to self regulate my double rifle, all in one sitting. It's not the most pleasant feeling. Once that was accomplished, it was downhill from there. Another big magnum that packs a wallop is the 300 Weatherby, 84.5 grains of IMR7828 behind a 180 grain Accubond.

My 9lbs 458 win mag ain’t that fun to develop a load for, but I have 3 different one now so I should be good!
9.3x62 I have 2 rifles with 4 different loads(3 for one and one for the other) I really find the 9.3’s not too bad.
