I have been poring over articles and reloading manuals about this cartridge as I think it is very interesting. When accompanied by my .300 Winchester Mag. (for plains game) I think it would make a fine large/dangerous game cartridge as well. The rifle would be a CZ 550 American. Any opinions on use of the 9.3X62 for cape buffalo? I would be using 320 gr. Woodleighs and ammo isn't a problem as I reload. Thanks for any replies. | ||

I have shot a number of Buffalo with the 9.3x62 using solids and the 320 gr. Woodleigh in both solid and soft...It is about as effective as a 375 H&H as far as I can tell, with a little less penitration....It is a fine caliber and soft on the shoulder..Some of my lady clients use them and with aplomb..There buff normally runs about 50 yds and "bellers".... Howsomeever, I still prefer a 40 caliber.... | |||

The .300 WinMag and the 9.3x62 are too "close" energywise. The 9.3 uses heavier bullets, the .300 has a flatter trajectory. .300 + .375, 9.3 only ( shots under 230 yds ), long barreld 9.3 and > 40 double ... Just my 0.02 Hermann | |||

I don't think I've ever seen the word "aplomb" used in a sentence before......thanks, Ray. | |||
