Hope to get some loading done this afternoon and off to the range to check. I read on an US forum that the 9.3x57 is regarded capable out to 300 yds for large game such as elk etc, I won't be going that far, however this has really got me interested in getting the open sights and an old a reliable cartridge back in action.

Greetings,
I gather that the 9.3x62 came out not long after the 9.3x57 and was expected to replace it but the Scandinavians had other ideas feeling that it was plenty for their needs. There are not many small deer in those countries.
