I gave some thought to this question today while working.

Firstly, it is unlikely you plan on a "close charge".

If the question was:

You are going hunting cape buffalo. Would you choose a double rifle in 9.3x74mmRimmed or a .458 Win Mag?

Which would you choose?

I know I would choose the .458 Win Mag anyday over a 9.3mm unless I just felt like taking a 9.3mm.

So I have committed sacriledge again, fifth columnist. I would choose a .458 Win Mag with 500 gr FMJs over a 9.3mm.

I think "close" does define "close" - say under 20 yards. How many of us here would get off two well enough aimed shots?
