Who is Ron Spomer
For 44 years I’ve had the good fortune to photograph and write about my passion - the outdoor life. Wild creatures and wild places have always stirred me - from the first flushing pheasant that frightened me out of my socks in grandpa’s cornfield to the last whitetail that dismissed me with a wag of its tail. In my attempts to connect with this natural wonder, to become an integral part of our ecosystem and capture a bit of its mystery, I’ve photographed, hiked, hunted, birded, and fished across much of this planet. I've seen the beauty that everyone should see, survived adventures that everyone should experience. I may not have climbed the highest mountains, canoed the wildest rivers, caught the largest fish or shot the biggest bucks, but I’ve tried. Perhaps you have, too. And that’s the essential thing. Being out there, an active participant in our outdoor world.

I thought this might be a .35 Whelen episode. Poor man's cartridge for sure. 30-06 case necked out to .358 caliber shooting a 250 grain bullet at 2400 fps 3200 ft/lbs. ain't no slouch. Manageable recoil too.
Poor men dont get to hunt dangerous game....so....🤷♂️
I can buy 35 Whelen ammo but most gun shops in the US don't even know what the 9.3x62 is. Normally they don't know what the 35 Whelen is. They're all into black rifles.
So your going to spend $15,000 going to africa and cheap out on the rifle? Get a winchester safari express 375 for $1,800. Or get it in 416 Remington because some african countries require 416 minimum. That is the poor mans dangerous game gun. The PH will have $30,000 double gun 500 nitro express to back you up.
I used a 375 H&H for years and then my wife bought me a CZ Model 550 American in 9.3x62 Mauser. I also owned a Rem Model 700 Classic in 350 Rem Mag. I no longer own the 350 and no longer shoot the 375. That's how good the 9,3x62 is. Great cartridge.
I remember not long ago they said in Africa they used 7x57 Mauser.
35 whelen? If it's not, it should be...
I also like 35 whelen, 338--06
What Iv realized about this channel is they like the odd ball. They’ll pick a random off the wall round instead of the normal stuff people use. Some people think they’re special when they use something nobody else uses don’t have nothing against it but just don’t hate on stuff people have used for generations
You forgot the cz 550… that’s my favourite modern rifle chambered in this cartridge
I am a great 9.3x62 fan. I am a Spaniard, and use it on wild boar driven hunts, as well as on roe deer stalks. I love it. I am delighted to see that it is becoming well-known in the USA as well. It deserves every bit of your attention, and is gaining popularity very quickly. It is a perfectly designed classic, ahead of its time, back in 1905, steadily gaining recognition. It was all but disappeared after the Second World War, but is coming back with authority. It will be loved by many American hunters as well.
Big 9.3x62 fan here. I use my Ruger Hawkeye loaded with Prvi 286gr rounds on whitetail here in Wisconsin. Soft jacketed bullet lead tip round nose with great expansion. Great in thick wooded areas. Made an 80 yard shot on a 10 pointer, drt. 1inch expansion 246 gr retained. Have had similar results so far.
This is a very popular cartridge in Sweden, and has usually been used on Moose almost exclusively, but has become popular in the southern half for Wild Boar. It is probably the most allround for clambering for big game one can own. We have ridiculously oppressive gun laws here, and can only own 6 long guns for hunting. Switch barrel rifles have become popular. And I would say a rifle with 6.5x55 and 9.3x63 would handle most hunting north of the Alps in Europe.
Hi im hunting mainly moose in nothen Sweden, im been hunting since i was 18 (1975) with a Carl Gustaf 1900 6,5 55. About 15 years ago i was sick and tired of searching the animals becuse they was running more than 100 yards after a deadly shot. I read the statistics of some cartridges an found that the 9.3 74 thats i a commonly used in France - dual barrel guns, the statistics said that 80% of the games dropped less than 20 yards from where they got hit by the bullet. So the choise was simple- the 9,3 62 and the 9,3 74 is commonly loaded for the same performance, so i purchased a Sauer 202 9,3 62.. Last year i purchased a barrel brake to get some less recoil and today I have a recoil as the 6,5 55 at the 9,3 yay
9.3x62 is a very common cartridge in Germany. It is widely used for everything from the size of a roe deer up to red stag. It is definitely capable of taking out whatever you are going to hunt. It's a shame that we don't have larger game than red stag in Germany. We can't even make use of the true potential of this cartridge.
I have a Czech former exchange student friend from 25 years ago who is a major forestry executive today. His family has leases on thousands of acres and hunt red deer and boars almost weekly. He also hunts bears in Kamchatka. His rifle is a Sauer with 2 barrels: .308 for Europe and 9.3x 62 for Asian and African dangerous game.
I have a 9.3x62 CZ 550 full stock carbine that I carry when hunting big game in the Alberta Foothills. I carry it because I am in grizzly country and don’t want anything less when I am field dressing a deer at sundown and realize I have company. My handload is a 286 Nosler partitions and 59 grains of Vitavouri 150, chronograph shows 2480 fps. Normally I use a 270 for deer but not in the foothills….
A local gun shop in western Pennsylvania had 5 Mossberg Patriot rifles in 375 Ruger that weren't selling and I picked up a stainless, cerakoted one in that caliber for $290 brand spanking new!! Sure, Ammo isn't cheap and I'm really happy I bought 2 boxes then, for $49/ box, now between $85 & $105/ box, but still, what a deal at $290!!! With the 270 gr Hornady sp, interlocks, 2,850 fps!! 3 shot, 5/8" groups at 100 yds
I shot my elk this year with a 9.3x62 using a 250gr Barnes TTSX.
Don't forget that there is also the 9,3x64 Brenneke. This round is equal to the 375 H&H in therms of energy but you have the advantage that you can use lighter bullets in order to shoot flat.
