John
thanks for sharing with us. I know Koos personally. He lives about 120km from me. I visited him a few times and we share some hunting stories and talked about rifles the whole day long! he is a journalist and writer for hunting magazines here in SA. His knowledge of firearms and all things hunting is impressive. I have a lot of his articles and can share some with the forum if you want?

Regarding the 9.3x62... it is very well loved in Africa. All the old timers know it and always talk about it! I have 2 rifles chambered in 9.3x62, as well as a 9.3x64 Bren. Anything that the 9.3 is shot at die!! End of story. It has perhaps the perfect balance between velocity and penetration. The std 286gr bullet just work! From springbuck all the way to elephant. I personally know a lot of old hunters that used the 9.3 on buffalo and they swear by it! Some of them reason it is better than the 375?? I just opened the door for a serious debate...
