Re: The 9.3, not the .375 shld be min. caliber for African DG

And just to muddy the waters even further, if the original 310 grain load (S.D. of .346) at 2,000 fps in the 400/350 Rigby was no different, at least in Taylor's opinion, from a .375 H&H load using 300 grain bullets (S.D. of .305) and I get 2,000 fps with my 350 grain BRTORNFPGC WQ'ed bullet (1) (S.D. of .375) in my 9.3x57 (52,000 psi on a M98 action), why would the 9.3x57, at least in that guise, not be satisfactory, using, of course, a custom 0.050" thick jacketed bullet of the same weight?

Which is why for heavy stuff, I sold my 2 .375 H&H rifles and 2 9.3x62 chambered rifles, but still have my 3 9.3x57 chambered rifles, plus my .458, of course.
