You couldn't pay me to close on an elephant with a 9.3x72, if I had a bigger rifle available. 450 NE No2 did so I'll always wonder about his sanity...But I wouldn't hesitate to do it if it was the rifle available.

The 9.3x74 is on par with the more common 9.3x62, which has plenty of dangerous game in its history, so does the 9.3x74, you just don't read about it as often.

I'm no long range expert, but a man who knows his rifle can do wonders. He knows his rifle, and some.
