Re: The 9.3, not the .375 shld be min. caliber for African DG

I’ve used my SxS Merkel in 9.3x74R on several caribou and whitetail deer. It works very well and does not generate a tremendous amount of blood shot meat and recoil is present but pleasant. The slower velocity and relatively heavy bullets work wonders. Mine clocks at 2400 FPS using 250 grain TTSX with near single hole regulation at 50 yards..... It will absolutely do the job but I personally think it is on the light side for cape buffalo particularly if things go pear shaped, but a textbook broadside lung shot would without question equal a dead buffalo. I sure would NOT feel comfortable with less than perfect raking shots.

Craig Boddington has about a million more times experience and knowledge than I, so if he says it’s ok for buffalo, then I am not qualified to contradict him, but for me and my skill/experience level, I want just a little more horsepower on tap. As a MINIMUM DG caliber, I expect that it does meet that specification given that is the metric being discussed.
