We’re back! And Tim is starting the new year with a deep dive into newly released 9.3×62 rifles and explains why this classic German cartridge is gaining serious traction in America. Tim compares “The Exception” rifle from Field Ethos to the Ruger Alaskan, breaking down differences in actions, materials, accuracy, recoil, barrel length, and long-term durability. He also offers detailed accuracy results at 150 yards, velocity comparisons between barrel lengths, and how different bullet jackets can change performance entirely. Tim also explains where the 9.3×62 fits alongside cartridges like the .35 Whelen, .375 Ruger, and .416 Remington, and why it remains legal and effective for dangerous game in many African countries. Whether you’re looking for a refined hunting rifle, a rugged Alaska “kick-around” gun, or a do-everything survival rifle, this episode lays out what actually matters when choosing a 9.3×62.
