A minor critique if it is one for the 9.3

it's balls to the wall or nothing. A serous round mister! The classic load is a 286 gr. soft or solid at 2400 fps. That's close about 200 fps behind the .375 H&H Magnum. Usually in a gun about 2 lbs. lighter too!

It's not brutal but it thumps notably. It's more business, not for fun off the bench. Doug does have some 250 gr. Nosler Accu-bonds but to make it up they added a couple hundred fps to the mix. They are not light loads!

The exercise makes me consider my original idea of just .416'ing the piss out of anything that truly needs blasting. A 350 gr. at 2400-2500 fps is almost in that same range. My next rifle down from that is a .30-06 or .308. I have a nice 375 gr. RNGC .417" mold, and can powder coat, to let me shoot full power loads quite frugal. Doug and I will try some next practice outing.

  - If a man is a realist the .308 is plenty good for all - WB, 2020-12-28, 11:24

        Have often wondered about the 338-06 and 35 - Derek, 2020-12-28, 12:25
        They have some obvious reloading advantages - WB, 2020-12-28, 15:07
