Re: Anyone here shoot 9.3x62
It's no elephant gun.
In Germany it's used for everyday hunting from roe deer (15-40 lbs) up to red stag (400+lbs).
Recoil is, as mentioned above, shotgun like and not punishing.
I can shoot it all day and I'm not that fond of recoil.
As long as your shooting technique is fine, you won't have any trouble with it (Don't fight the recoil, let it push you).
I prefer the recoil over a stiffly loaded 180gr .30-06.
Ammunition cost depends on the brand, here you pay from about 0,8 to 3 Euros per bang.
It's a hunting cartridge and was never inteded for lots of training with it, so I guess cost per cartridge aren't that important compared to overall costs per hunting trip.
