The Ruger 77 in 9.3x62mm: Bill Wilson's Favorite Hunting Rifle - Gun Guys Ep. 44 with Ken Hackathorn

While never truly popularized, or even widely available in the United States, the 9.3x62mm is the most popular safari round on the African continent and is still widely used as a hunting cartridge throughout Europe. It recoils like a .300 Winchester but has ballistic reliability like a .358 Winchester and terminal performance like a .375 H&H. In this episode, Bill talks about what he likes most in a bolt action hunting rifle and shares some stories of his time out in the bush.
