As to caliber, the diffrence between a .375 and the 9,3 is merely academic when it comes to solids? I've heard the .375 is marginal, but still capable of putting down an elephant. Would a 9,3mm be that differen?

All differences are "academic"..... until you find yourself in a situation where it matters.

Ain't that the truth!

A good solid like a Woodleigh, or better yet a NF or GS Custom flat nose solid will have the penetration for a brain shot. But you have NO MARGIN for error. Move to a 450NE-470NE class rifle and you have some marin for error on a brain shot - but not always.

If you should need to stop a charge, you are at a severe disadvantage. Elephants are not hard to turn with enough rifle should the brain shot be imperfect. But a 9.3 isn't enough rifle for this.
