Aug 31, 2021 · A German named Otto Bock created the 9.3x62 rimless cartridge out of whole cloth, although its dimensions look suspiciously like the 7x57mm Mauser of 1892. And that means it’s mirroring our 30-06 for rim, head, body diameter —even the 17-degree, 30-minute shoulder angle.
By Chuck Hawks. The 9.3x62 is a very popular medium bore cartridge in Europe and Africa that is finally catching on in North America. In power it is similar to the .350 Remington Magnum. In appearance it looks much like the .35 Whelen, but it offers better penetration than either.
Even though the 9.3x62mm Mauser is arguably one of the best all-around big game hunting cartridges in the world, the 9.3×62 is still an incredibly underrated round. While they’re likely familiar with the .375 H&H Magnum, most hunters in North America have probably not heard of the .9.3x62mm Mauser cartridge.
The exact bullet diameters are 9.3mm or .366” versus 9.09mm or .358”. The .375 caliber is only a touch wider than the 9.3 bore at 9.5mm. The 9.3x62 has its shoulder 2mm (80 thou) further forwards than standard .30-06 length cartridges and is therefore more similar in capacity to the .35 Whelen AI than the standard .35 Whelen.
Feb 9, 2018 · The 9.3mm bore diameter translates to 0.366-inch, placing this cartridge neatly between the American .35s and the revered .375; which isn’t a bad place to be at all. The traditional loads for the 9.3s are built around 232- and 286-grain bullets, though modern offerings extend the weight up to 300 grains.
