Possibly a projectile that goes bang on impact.....

Plus you might get to work with 2 of the zoo keepers with licenses/on duty. Both are quite tidy...

The 9.3 x 62 is very close in power and performance to the 35 Whelen, which is a proven Elk killer. In fact, it's not far behind the .375 H&H in power! It's an old cartridge that we don't see much here in North America but it was very popular in Africa. I believe Norma makes new head stamped brass and possibly some others too but you can make you own easy enough by necking up 30-06 brass and trimming back to the proper length. It's generally recommended to expand the neck to .375 and then reduce to .366, or 9.3 mm's. RCBS makes dies for this cartridge.
