    Havnt used the 9.3 but I've had my 35Whelen for close on 20yrs and have clocked up a couple of hundred deer with it.Favorite load is with 225gr game kings but when they aren't in hard antler I've been trying 200gr Hornady superformance,love this rifle.

    What did you do with that @mawzer308, I think I just read the story of you getting it, on the other forum last night.
    At least it may have been you, seem to remember the Mawzer name.

    The Nosler 250 gr AB at 2510 fps makes a decent crater.

    It has a 9 in it so it must be good.

    It has a ".", a 6, a 2, an x, a 3 and a 9 in it. All it needs is a 7 in front.

    Well got the old girl back together again and out at the range today
    100 meters 65.3 grains of 2209 with 286gn Hornady SP-RP
    Group shot in two parts as I had difficulty believing the first two and had to go look,
    then settled for the other two and stuffed it up, still happy enough at 100 m for a 50+ year old rifle

    50m rock
    Name: 20161230_152325.jpg Views: 807 Size: 472.0 KB
    50 meter rock afterwards
    Name: 20161230_152403.jpg Views: 801 Size: 825.8 KB
    Husqvarna 9.3x62, and Leupold 2.5-8x36
