The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 9.3X62mm (9.3X62mm Mauser) was designed by Otto Bock for Mauser in 1905. The 9.3mm (.366-inch bullet) is the European answer to the 375. The 9.3X62mm is the most popular of numerous European 9.3mm cartridges, designed to equal the performance of the earlier 9.3X74R, but in bolt-actions. It fits easily into a standard (30-06-length) action and with a 286-grain bullet at 2360 fps is a powerful and effective cartridge, yet fairly mild in recoil. In America it is often stated that the 375 is the minimum for dangerous game, but in most African jurisdictions the actual minimum is more commonly 9.3mm. The 9.3X62mm is very popular in Europe and is becoming popular in the U.S. It is an excellent cartridge for North America's largest game and can be considered a sensible minimum for Cape buffalo.
