[QUOTE="bigdogone, post: 2131409, member: 116192"] Great question- full disclosure I own 375h&h and don’t 9.3. I’ve hunted plains game with it and it hits like Thor’s hammer. When it was time to go for buff I stepped up to 416 Rigby. Again Thor’s hammer including one of five going away through right hip, rumen, engine room and exit left shoulder (swift solid). Kevin Robertson in Africa’s most dangerous makes a solid case for 9.63x62. Without any personal experience I put value in his opinion because of his experience as PH and personal shooting and he’s a veterinarian so he performed autopsies on many of the buffs. My summary of his reasoning is that it’s an easy to shoot cartridge so shots tend to be more accurate and it hits some Buffalo sweet spot of energy, wound channel diameter and muzzle/impact velocity which he argues needs to be around 2200. Muzzle and impact velocity tending to be the same when shots are taken inside 50 yards. [/QUOTE]
