Doug has a Blazer in 9.3x62 we shot a bit

Of course superb accuracy and it shoots a .366" bullet of 286 grs. at around 2300 fps. You know you touched something off! I've heard some folks compare it to a .358 Winchester. I think the .358 with the older 250 gr. loading was pretty salty. The 9.3 seems in the hunt with the .35 Whelen and .375 H&H. I think there is a 225 gr. 9.3 load at around 2600 fps or more.

Bottom line, it can still carry the mail.
