Re: The 9,3x74R Double Rifle, is it the Holy Grail

I am a fan of the 9.3x62 which can be loaded up to a good deal better than a 9.3x74, and I consider it a doable Buffalo rifle if all goes well, but certainly at the bottom of the Buff calibers...

I know the 9.3x74 will kill a Buffalo, but it takes awhile for them to die and they make a lot of steps before they expire unless spine or brain is hit...I know that Lions can be very agressive also, and wouldn't even consider a 9.3x74 on Lion...

I wouldn't recommend a 9.3x74 for dangerous game, unless your content with letting your PH clean up your mess....

I would recommend a 450-400 as the minimum buffalo double rifle and the warm loaded 9.3x62 as minimum in a bolt gun.......

My 9.3x62 with a 26 inch barrel will toss a 300 gr. Swift bullet at 2450 FPS, a 286 gr. at 2520 FPS, and a 320 gr. Woodleigh at 2400, that is a good deal beyond factory ammo and way beyond a 9.3x74 capability....

I have seen the 9.3x74 used on a number of Buffalo by clients, mostly ladies, and I have never been impressed, its just a bit shy IMO...
