cable,
I believe the cartridge your rifle is chambered for is the 9.3x57(a rimless cartridge), which was popular for hunting moose as you said. However, the 9.3x57R/360 is not the rimmed version of it. The 9,3x57 is based on the M88 Commission case with a .468" head diameter and is a 358 Winchester class cartridge. The 9.3x57R/360 is the metric version of the British 360-2 1/4" cartridge, with about a .427" head diameter (9,3x72R and smaller 38-55 often used for donor cases) and is a 38-55 class cartridge. Both are good cartridges on their own but are very different.
