Re: Is 9.3x74R ENOUGH gun for Cape Buff?

Quote:

Plenty of country's where you can use less than a 375H&H for Cape Buff, kind of rural myth this .375
minimum !

We have shot a bunch of Cape Buff with the 8X68S, I hate that cartridge myself but mostly the projectiles are wrong & the rifles it is chambered in I suppose !




Yes but it is the minimum standard for all countries. Though some have other minimums.

Which countries allow the 8x68S? Mozambique, Namibia? What is the standard/rules there?

For some reason German ammo makers often use some really silly projectiles. For example, Ithe Conepoint or Kegelsptiz. I shot the 300 gr KS in my .375 and it must have been flying like lightening. Also a tiny one hole three shot group at 100 metres. But a useless bullet.

In the 8x68S there is the KS and also a soft RWS SP. The TUG or H-Mantel might be better but probably not the H-Mantel for buffalo.

I would use a 220 gr A-frame or try the 250 gr Woodleigh RNSP. Plus FMJ's in reserve.
