Most all Countries I know of the .375 is legal minumum and most consider the 9.3's as well. Lots of other posters here will fill in on this as well.

False.

Used to be the case under the old EAPHA rules, but no longer.

Kenya used to require at least a 40 cal. for dangerous game but there has been no hunting allowed there for a LONG time so they hardly count any longer. Everywhere else that I know of, a 375 is OK.
