Primary use would be whitetails, black bear and maybe a once in alifetime moose hunt.
9.3x74R
8x57 JRS
30-40 Krag
If you were having a new rifle done.
dont really need the thump of a 9.3 but I know its easier to use a big bullet on smaller game than the other way around.
30-40 still has pretty damn good ballistics and bullet selection if i handload.
8x57 JRS is good one also. the Krag has best trajectory.
I had a 9.3 already and had to sell 10 years ago to finance college tuition.
looking at a Demas. they are nice, more refined thanChapuis which would be my second choice.
30-40 has a lot going for it. I know its kind of on its last legs but ammo is still readily available and ballisticly it holds its own with many other rimmed cases.
