Re: 9.3x74R VS .375H&H

I consider the 9.3x74 a minimum caliber for Buffalo..The 375 H&H is considerably more powerful than the 9.3x74 any way you cut it...Is the extra power neeeded? might be someday, who knows..

I would hunt with either if thats all I had...I have seen a few buff shot with the 9.3x74 and have shot a number of buff with the 9.3x62 ( a bit more gun ) and have shot more than a few with the 375..I have seen buff shot with about everything...For myself I like the 416s or 404 best and in a double I like the 450-400 and 470 but thats the only two double rifle calibers that I have used on DG, and both work fine.....

The 9.3s will not penetrate like a 375, SD is fine but you still have to have the needed velocity to get it to work...besides a 375 has more SD than a 9.3 for most bullets.

Bottom line is the 9.3 are nice calibers and I have and shoot one and I love it, but is no 375 H&H.
