    Yeah. I have other calibres for faster/flatter too. The 9.3 I am going to roll with the 286gr. as it was intended. I have used pretty light and fast calibres in the past, but at typical hunting ranges they like to turn things into hamburger. I really want to see if the job can be done better with a bigger and slower projectile and not destroy a large amount of meat like a hand grenade going off.

    It looks like 3" high at 100 with a 286@2400 will get me to about 225 yards for max point blank. So holding top of shoulders at 300 if I need to push the range. That's plenty for any kind of hunting I'll be doing.
