I haven't used any of those cartridges but have killed a number of buffalo with the 9.3x74R driving a 286 gr bullet at a moderate 2,170 fps. Use a good bullet. So they are probably not far off in terms of power.

I imagine with a FMJ and very good bullet placement they could kill the heavier Big Five animals but I would prefer something bigger.
