Anybody hunting in Canada with 9.3x62
- Thread starter Ghubert
- Start date
There is a few for sure, Ted(why not?) does, he was just in my shop showing me a few bullets, I will start hunting with one, I bought it mainly for bison but might use it for other things too... the idea is to start reloading for it when I get my kit!!

I am new here and don’t claim to know anything other than what I have done in the field
I lived in Europe for 40 years and was introduced to 9.3 calibre while chasing wild boars and it really is super
Please try it
Low recoil, huge wound channels , cheap to reload
Good on barrels
To be point in the last decade I even shoot rabbits with it just to practice and prepare for Africa

I'm 'looking'...
And Africa is a dream for me to, just not right now due to financial considerations... Here's hoping I live long enough to realize that dream!
I have a number of hunting rifles that I can choose from, yet I find myself bringing my Husqvarna 1600 9.3x62 more often than not. Bison, moose, bears and caribou have all tipped over using the 9.3. I even brought it on a sheep hunt this past August, unfortunately didn't come across any legal rams.
I am just an old boy so if you like any information please fire away
Glad to share
Again I must stress I don’t know anything more than what I have done
Been receiving emails from PH I have hunted with over the years and they are really suffering because of current climate

Just another calibre. They are very similar
Imagine you are in Africa and shall we say jonhanneberg, walk into a gun shop sinceyour airline mishandled your ammo box and you ask for 35 whelan ...
Know what I mean
No animal will complaint when hit by either
Really down to your skill and choice of bullets
I would say there is better choice of 9.3 projectiles around than 35 ... especially outside North America

My first decade with 9.3x62 I used to push it to the limit like what you are doing.
Later and with more experience I back to a node lower that that and guess what ...things keeps dropping and not a complaint
Now I run 250 accubonds around 2450 (of course depends on your tube)
Put a good muzzle brake on and bobs your uncle
Because I lived in Europe so I had the use of silencers since 2002 and it really was fun
Wait till you go subsonic ...... now that’s when mama piggy gets pissed with me

Yes, I hunt with one. It doesn't get out as much as it needs to.
Think of it as a .36 Whelen Improved.

Oh I totally understand what you are saying. I was just wondering what I could ballpark compare it to to get my head wrapped around it. I shoot a 7x65R and often tell people who look at me sideways, it’s kinda like Europe’s 30-06 .
Germans and Austrians are very compartmentalised when it come to calibres
7x65r typically goes with a kipplauf for chamois / GAMS
Wonderfully flat
Are you using RWS brass in a Blaser ?
I cannot say any 9.3 can be as flat as 7x65R having used both in the field.
