Here is one 9.3, 300grn Swift A Frame and two 286grn Woodleigh solids recovered from a Buff a few years back.

The Buff was taken with a Blaser in 9.3x62. (The PH was Stuart Taylor).

Perfect performance by all three bullets! The Swift A-Frames and Woodleighs are two of my favorite premium hunting projectiles also. Both bullets have never failed me on a hunt.

ozhunter,

Obviously the buff is down, so the bullets did their job. However, I am curious as to where the solids entered and where you found them.

By comparison, I shot my first buff with a 375H&H loaded with 300 grain Barnes solids at 2,525 fps. All 3 of my solid shots exited, two of them penetrated both shoulders and still exited.

After reading "The Perfect Shot" it sounds like the author actually prefers the 9.3x62 because the solids typically don't exit and end up dumping all of their energy in the target.

Can you provide a quick descriptio of how things went down with this buff.

I'm headed to Chewore North next summer (with Gibbo again) and I'm trying to decide on which guns to take. One of my 9.3x62's could make the trip.

Thanks.

Tim

Very nice!

Do you happen to recall what speed the bullets were loaded to and the distance of the shot?

I like 9.3 stories, the cartridge has always appealed to me and the more I hear about it the more I want one.

Most of my 286grn solids have been recovered under the far side skin on Buffalo.
The Swift A Frames are traveling at a modest 2310fps and the 286grn bullets are at 2340fps.
Most of the shots where between 20 to 60m.

Just what I need. More reason to fall in love with that cartridge.

Thank you very much sir. Sincerely.

The bullets have worked very well

These are mine, recovered in a cape buffalo, shot from 150 meters with my 378 WBY MAG

barnes TSX 270 grains

Those darn A-Frames are as predictible as the sun rising in the east.....every one I've ever seen is the same.....perfectly mushroomed!

The same can be said for the Northforks as well!

Thanks for the photos!
