As mentioned in earlier posts.....The .333Jeffery is a specialized cartridge. Very effective for even the bigger ones if the hunter can choose time & place. I wouldn`t mind hunt a buffalo with such caliber ofcouse backed up with a heavy double.
If one should make a shortcut to ".333Jeffery" a .300grain .338cal bullet to a downsized 9,3x64 could be an option. However if one really wants the real thing there is only one way with no shortcuts. It is rewarding to own, shoot and use the real original caliber. I believe(of what I know) we are 3-4 people here in Europe who activly uses this caliber.




I'd have no problem hunting a big water buffalo bull with a .318 WR with 250 gr Woodleighs, SP or FMJ. Or a .333 or .338 with 250 grs or 300 gr Woodleighs SPs or FMJs.

I plan to size down some 250 gr FMJs to .323 to match the .323 250 gr Woodleigh SPs. If it works for FMJs and they aren't structurally damaged. Use my 8x68S for buffalo. Not worried about any back up. If not the 250 grs a 220, 200 or 196/198 gr FMJ , A-frames will do as the same weight SP.

If shit happens, it happens.

I've got a 10-bore and .404 to use first next though.



BUT GREAT to see you still using the .333 Jeffery. A true vintage classic warrior.
