Nojden,

I have a Chapuis SxS ejector gun with two sets of barrels. The first is in 9.3x74r topped with a VX6i 1-6x24. The second set is 7x65r topped with a VX6 2-12x42.

I have taken a good bunch of bushbucks and a few warthogs with the 9.3. I've been very happy with it's performance. The 7x65r has taken a black bear and a whitetail deer. It's regulated with 156gr Norma Orynx.

I really don't love the 7x65r for running shots. On driven game or jump shooting I really like the heavier 286gr bullet of the 9.3x74r. My bullet placement has not always been perfect on bushbucks but I've yet to loose one hit with the 9.3. I remember one I hit running through both hips and it really put it down. Another I tried slipping it in on a hard racking shot. I pulled the shot or just misread the angle but it entered thr right hip and broke the off shoulder. Both might have been fine with the 7x65r but the bullet weight of the 9.3 made marginal(poor) shot placement turn out fine.

Confidence wise I give a big nod to the 9.3.
