I have been playing with a 9.3x62 of late, the twin of the 9.3x74R. Though it is relativly pleasant to shoot, I have no experience with its penetration. I am supposing that it cannot be much different than a .375 H&H, and one hears good results from others use of the 9.3.

From my experience the .458 (.470) has more "shock" effect on a buffalo than a .375, if one can shock a buffalo at all.

All things considered I would go with the 9.3x74R double also.**

I know that a big part of the excitement of hunting dangerous game and specifically hunting buffalo is the possibility of getting tossed, but I really have no desire to experience myself! I bruise easily.


** I do wish that one could get a single trigger 9.3x74R double, though, as my past performance with double triggers has not been, let's say, stellar.
