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.

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.

Mar 14, 2023 · The 9.3x62mm is the older, and smaller of the two cartridges. Designed by Otto Bock in 1905, the rimless cartridge has a visual similarity to the earlier 7x57mm and 8x57mm cartridges, if there are slight dimensional differences. Bock’s brainchild uses a .366-inch-diameter bullet, and a case length of 2.441 inches, or 62mm.
