The 9.3 x 62mm caliber is a rifle cartridge originally developed for hunting African big game. The caliber enjoys great popularity among German hunters, especially for driven hunts, because it has a high stopping power due to the large bullet diameter. It is also very popular for targeted hunting of sows, which are considered to be hard to shoot compared to other European cloven-hoofed game. Compared to the bullet diameter, the case of the 9.3 x 62 caliber is relatively short, which means that the caliber can also be fired from short barrels and has a relatively low recoil: Many shooters talk about their gun "pushing" rather than "kicking." However, the bullet drops sharply above 150 yards.
