Re: Drilling calibres in Australia

Quote:I have heard of a PH in Zim who uses a Sauer 12x12/9.3x74R on wounded leopard, it would just about be ideal for this I would think.
I've seen or heard of them in 7x57 (perhaps rimmed), 8mm (presume 8x57 or 8x57R), 6.5x57R and .30-06. Also something like .222 too.
I believe I have heard of another 9.3x74R but can't remember whom it was. Not that long ago ie recently 2 years or so.
Good calibre for medium game use.
