  7. May 4, 2018 · A .35 Whelen with a 200-grain premium bullet at 2700 fps offers a decent trajectory, as does the 230-grain 9.3x62mm Mauser load at 2650 fps.

  8. 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.
