We presented on the Youtube channel of the Caccia Passione magazine Browning BAR Long Trac rifled rifle with a bore adopted not long ago that sees the 9,3 × 62 cartridge come back into play, a project by the Berlin technician Otto Bock, dating back to 1905: after the initial success especially for the African colonies of the Germanic Empire and for the large Carpathian deer this remarkable cartridge was obscured, along with many others with the same origin, by the war defeat of the 34s. Only after some time has it been rediscovered for its intrinsic qualities where the general balance dominates the ballistic scene: the cartridge case has a decent capacity, powder chamber with a barely hinted taper, shoulder angle just over XNUMX ° and long collar.
This combination allows to obtain with balls usually between 15,0 and 18,5 g (232 and 286 gr) an energy in the mouth of around 460 kgm with a not exasperated recoil and above all without that annoying peak in the shoulder and posture. of the weapon: in this way it is possible to repeat the shot while maintaining the aim with moderate ease. There are few doubts about the damage of a bullet of such diameter and mass, with rounded ogive, uncovered lead and core welded to the jacket: penetration is decided by creating a medium of large section thanks also to the elongation of the projectile and the transfer of energy is made be successful.
