Zim amended the legal minimum muzzel energy to 5kj to accomodate the 9,3 in 1998.

9,3 is also legal in Mozambique and Botswana.

Just to stir the pot, I notice (and have heard him actually say it) that Kevin Robertson (aka Doctari and author of "the perfect shot") recomends downloading the .375 to 2450 or 2400fps for use on elephant and buff.

Do know- having tried it on 10 elephants after a cull that a 9,3 with 286grn woodleigh solids at c2380fps out penetrates a .375 H&H loaded with 300grn PMP mommetal bullets or 300grn Woodleighs at 2550 fps on body shots. Since both calibres will punch a bullet right through the biggest bulls head, who cares on that score.

Personally would prefer .375 ballistics for use on lion or buff.
