The 9,3x62 was the principle rifle issued to game rangers throughout southern and eastern Africa at one time, and probably more game has been taken with the 9,3 than with any other single caliber...the 303 is right in there, too.

A former park ranger form Zimbabwe that I know culled elephant and buffalo for twenty five years with the 9,3x62...several hundred elephant and possibly a thousand buffalo over that period. The factory ballistics for the 9.3x62 and the 9,3x74r are identical.

There are also statistics available for those who would like to find them. The 9,3 is one of those calibers which, like the 375, kills all out of proportion to its size. These men shooting them were far better shots and knew their quarry much better than you or I, I'll wager.
