After reading the article in Sports Afield between Kevin Robertson and Craig Boddington. I have this question to ask. I have a pair of the above rifles. I will be using 250gr Barnes TSX's for NA. I am confident that bullet will do anything I need in NA. But what about Cape Buffalo for when I make it to Africa? PG will probably be part of the trip also. Just switch to a Barnes 286gr soft/solid combination? I believe in the tried and true and would lean towards the standard 286gr bullets myself. But what about the 300gr Swift A-Frame? Or 320gr Woodleigh soft/solid offerings? I owned a 416 Rigby, but I couldn't get used to the recoil. Hence the 9.3's. I really enjoy shooting the 9.3's and do so fairly well IMO. They are enjoyable to shoot and will use them quite a bit more before going to Africa. Especially interested in hearing from the PH's, and of course, I will discuss this with the actual PH. | ||

300grn SWIFT-A-FRAMES and 320grn WOODLEIGH solids. Done deal. IMHO. This is how they often come out if recovered from a 9.3x62. And although they are 286grn solids, the 320s come out the same if recovered. | |||

Here is the link to the magazine. It doesn't show the article, but click on PH Roberstons "Ask.." section and he discusses heavy for caliber bullets on DG. http://www.sportsafield.com/site/index.php "Ganyana" has written two articles in "Rifle" Magazine. Really enjoyable reading and should tell you what you need. Download the Jan-Feb 2009 Preview PDF to get the latest article. http://www.riflemagazine.com/m.../index.cfm?magid=570 Dave | |||
