I donīt care whatīs on a video and less I care about someone elseīs balls; this is -surely- the less needed quality that an african hunter needs.
Let me tell you that no matter the balls or the confidence you have to stalk so close to an elephant, but one thing Iīm sure of: if the elephant knows it is in a kind of danger and starts to run, and youīre on its way (I donīt need to say "charge"), you, your balls, your confidence and your 9,3 are off the world of the alives.
How many elephant did Karamojo Bell take with a 7x57 Mauser? Several hundreds?
But I see none encouraging none to use such a caliber.
Moreover, I think your PH shouldnīt be in the exercise of this job any longer, as he is, consciously, permiting a client to risk their lives;...just because of what? Because someone has confidence in a particular caliber or rifle, while logic is against?
Who says that? Me? No. It is, "experience apart", RWS when listing all their bullets for this caliber qualifying it as a "NON SUITABLE" for even buffaloes.
Is the 9,3 unable to kill a buffalo, then? No, it kills them; but does not cover all possible situations (mostly those dangerous).
About long & responsible quick death shots: I recognise that I maight have been too severe. Iīll leave it this way: a DR with a low and medium-heavy bullet is far from what it can be called the "ideal gun" for the usually tough african game.

Places and game hunted: I wonīt step into this (by now).

Best regards and please 450, donīt take my words in the bad sense. To be critical is not be offensive, at least, not intentionally.
Please do permit me one advice: donīt keep playing around with the duet "elephant-9,3x74R"; I want to read you for many years.
