Have faced a charging buffalo from 13 paces with 9.3x62 along with PH that had .375 H&H - 4 shots in ~3-4 seconds and it was all over.

My first shot was aimed under the chin but hit the lover jaw - sort of uppercut knocked the buff on his front knees, PH's shot hit buff under the spine (didn't broke the spine) but put its hind legs to the ground - my second shot hit it right on the shoulder joint (buff was geting back on his front legs) and knocked it down - it couldn't get back since - my 3rd was a side brainshot that put lights out. I was using FN solids (Northfork and Bridger's) PH was shooting Woodleigh RN solids.
