Guys, I have owned several S/S double rifles chambered for 9.3X74R, and the Woodliegh 286 gr solid, and soft work like charm on Cape Buffalo. The 9.3X74R is the minimum chambering for the big five in most African countries. Untill this year it was ligal for bufflao and cats in Tanzania, and many, many buffalo were taken over the years with these handy little double rifles. Now 375 H&H is minimum there for the big four, excluding the Leopard. However it is legal in most other countries, even for Elephant! The 9.3X74R is a very under rated round!

Nosler makes a 286 gr Nosler Partition, that is great in this cartridge, and teamed up with a woodliegh solid, will make a one gun Safari possible, especially if a QD scope is available.

It is best to stick with one weight bullet in a double rifle, and just alternate between soft, and solid.
