I shoot a 9.3x62 also.
Simply devastating on elk using 250gr Barnes TTSX hand loads.

I have some of those waiting for me to test them with Varget but didn't get a load layed out before season. I've heard good things. What powder do you like?

 

[G19Jeeper]

Thank you all for the kind words, I am heading to a taxidermist now to see about a half mount!

Congrats! I also have a 9.3x62. Big game and Reloader 15 work very well in this round.

Congrats of the 1st bear, and making a good shot on a moving target. Easier said than done. You forgot an important detail, what did he weigh? And don't believe people who say they don't taste good, haven't had a bad one yet...

Congratulations! You fared better than I did but I will give it another go next year.
I'm with Greta06 and would be interested in the weight and curious if male or female?

Congratulations on the bear. I hope you post pictures after the taxidermist is done.

You're right! He was lower than expected at 162 lbs, we figured he was close to 200lb. Got a good bit of fat off him too.
