Re: 9,3X74R for big game

I agree completely, and was sure glad at the outcome of the one and only time I have ever hesitsted to pull the trigger because of what would come out the other end. The last thing anyone wants is a wounded animal of ANY kind, let alone a buffalo. I have for many years been an advocate of "never too big". An old, now departed friend...Bob Enewold (Dirty Bob)...convinced me to use #4 bird shot on quail. I thought he was nuts and told him so! But, I tried it, and I have not crippled a bird since. I get more birds with less holes and shot to navigate through at the dinner table. I have applied this principle to all my hunting, since. I have shot only a couple of buffalo and found them tough. A well placed shot seemed to work, whatever caliber was used (with good bullets), but I asked about the 9,3 from my rather limited experience. Now I know and am better informed.

For years, when asked advice on where to go and how to do it, I answered..."hire a good guide and DO what he says"... This forum is of equal value to those of us who would take the time to ask and listen...Thanks!
