The 9.3×62mm (also known as 9.3×62mm Mauser) is a rimless, bottle necked rifle cartridge designed by German Gunmaker Otto Bock in 1905. It is suitable for hunting medium to large game animals in Africa, Europe, and North America.
The 9.3×62mm was designed to fit into the Mauser 98 bolt-action rifle. European hunters and settlers in Africa often chose military rifles for their reliability and low cost. Still, colonial governments in Africa fearful of rebellions commonly banned military-caliber guns and ammunition.
The 9.3×74mmR is a rimmed cartridge that evolved from the 9.3×72mmR black powder cartridge. The energy levels of the 9.3×62mm and 9.3×74mmR cartridges are similar, but the cartridges are unrelated.
The rimmed cartridge is slightly longer than the 9.3x62mm, allowing for lower pressure in the case while retaining muzzle velocity and energy.
