I would take a shot at 200M with the 9.3X62MM that JESSIE at JES reformatted for me.
(Jessie’s work is FLAWLESS & REASONABLE in price, too.)

I have a Husky in 9.3x62 it started as a 9.3x57 that I had reamed out. I debated having X caliber make me a barrel for an old rem 700 I had in 30_06 just laying around. I wanted the control feed of the mauser 98 action vs the push feed of the 700 should I ever need to shove a round in less than ideal conditions. Have you ever had an issue with feeding that large round with your Remmy 700?

I’m a reloaded I love how long cases last in the 9.3 especially when loaded up mildly since its vast over kill for nearly everything in North America. I bought mine before my 375 H&H in CZ550 for a buff hunt in SA now that I own a 375 it’s all I would carry to AK or Africa along with my 7mag in 28” bull barrel for plains game at 500m plus. Fast twist 7mm loaded till the primers bulge...190 Berger VLDs carry 1800fps & 1500+ftlb to well over 800m not that I would typically take a shot that far but I have reliably hit white tail deer, bullies, axis,and mtn. sheep at 600+M. I drove a bolt action for the military I’m confident in my LD skills, My F class scores at 1000 also are not too shabby ;) just getting that out there before all the that’s to far for ethical blah blah. If you have the skills don’t be afraid to use them is my motto.

I just had cataract surgery and I’m hoping that after I heal up I’ll be able to see the sights and crosshairs better. Then I might feel confident for longer shots with the .338 Mag but I’ll reserve the .45/70 for “up close and personal”. If the new lens corrects the astigmatism in my right eye I might even bee able to see a red “dot” instead of a red “blob” ;-)
