Dangerous Game Calibers

.45-70 400 grains hard cast to about 1800 fps

  "The very best performance we can get from the 45-70 is to push heavy, (400 
   grains or greater) hard cast, bullets to about 1800 fps (Max). The hard 
   cast will not expand but will exit. It will exit even a large bear. A .458" 
   hole through all of the important clockwork parts of a bear is much more 
   effective than any 300 grain bullet making a nasty shallow wound in bear 
   muscle."

9.3x62 Mauser, 9.3x64 Brenneke, 9.3x74R

  "Left to right: 9.3x62 Mauser, 9.3x64 Brenneke, 9.3x74R. Although case size 
   goes from left to right, power does not. The 9.3x62 and 9.2x74R are not 
   much different from the .35 Whelen. The 9.3x64 Brenneke is every bit the 
   equal of the .375 H&H.

   the 9.3x64 is truly an alternative to the great .375 Holland & Holland"
