What is 9.3 x 74r?

The 9.3 x 74r is a rifle cartridge primarily used for hunting large game, such as moose, elk, and bear. It was developed in Germany in the early 20th century and is sometimes referred to as the 9.3mm Mauser. The "r" at the end of the cartridge designation stands for "rimmed," indicating that this cartridge is designed for use in rifles that have a rimmed chamber. The cartridge dimensions are 9.3mm in diameter and 74mm in length. It typically fires a bullet weighing between 250 and 286 grains at a muzzle velocity of around 2,500 feet per second. The 9.3 x 74r is popular among European hunters and is considered one of the most versatile cartridges for hunting large game.
