Hitting the charging buff in the right place with with a good bullet is the key to stopping a charge. Big calibers and bullets only marginally help your case if you don't hit the right place. Two weeks ago while I was at Charissa chaseing tuskless eles, a PH named Stockhill at Sengwa Researcsh Area next door failed to place two big bullets from his 500 double in the right place on a charging cow buff and ended up in the hospital for his efforts. Luckily, he was only very badly bruised as the cow didn't gore him but only pounded him.

It's hard to imagine, however, that Ganyana would suggest that - all else being equal, including bullet construction and shot placement - a 9.3x62mm is a better stopper on Cape buffalo than a .577 Nitro Express.

I don´t think he means as a stopper, but as a hunting rifle that is easier to shoot a good an deadly shot with.
A stopper is something much bigger, and not necessary for a hunter because you always have a PH on your side and because not so many can handle the recoil of a stopper. With poor results when shooting.
So I agree with mr G. a 9,3 or .375 kills "better" for us ordinary fellows.
