...........Do you reckon it was made to handle Buffalo or bigger ?........
314gr solids makes me think so but it is a lesser round than the 9.3X74 & that is marginal !

Original ballistics were 1900'/sec out of a 28" barrel.
While I do not doubt some brave/stupid nimrods plinked Buffalo with it, IMO the main use would have been larger plains game.

I remember a copy of a page out of a Westley Richards catalogue saying "...ideal rifle for Deer, Boar, Kangaroo and Seal..." so definitely not a dangerous game rifle
