Bonjour d' Arizona Olivier :) I have used both, and objectively both work with some caveats: 1-- I would not use solids on Buffalo, at least on a first shot. Modern solids, including the DGS, will generally pass through Buffalo and you are at risk of wounding or killing a second animal behind...

Next steps... Next step, US Fish & Wildlife designates Critical Habitat with the blessing of the NGOs. Next Step, US Fish & Wildlife produces a Recovery Plan under the Endangered Species Act with the scientific participation of the NGOs. Next step, US Fish & Wildlife reintroduces a Dire Wolf...

It is good to see you again dchamp, it has been a while :)

Hello Frederik; Bob Nelson 35Whelen is right, I have acquired great confidence in the .257 Wby 100 gr TTSX in Africa, to the point that it is now my default caliber/load on virtually all PG and MG (Mountain Game). I had 100% perfect results from Klipspringer to Roan, although, in all honesty...

Do not "adjust" anything...Somnas (I was tempted to write: "Do not mess up anything"). As previously mentioned several times in the thread, but it does not seem to be understood by everyone in the thread, cases coming back to hit the action and have their mouth dinged HAS NOTHING TO DO with...

Only one, close & far, big & small... I too vote for a .300 Mag. Whether it be the Winchester (the most common?), the Holland & Holland (the oldest?), the Weatherby (the best?), the Remington Ultra (the next to be discontinued?), the PRC or Norma (the latest fashions of the day?), the...

If AZ means Arizona in AZDAVE, we should connect and you can teach me :) I am in Snowflake. Where are you? My 9.3x62 is a Blaser R8.

Here it is :)

Yep, I have been wondering about all this... The A Frame 286 gr is advertised as 1.315" long (interestingly the 300 gr is advertised as shorter at 1.310". In truth 0.005" is not much difference but I would have expected the 300 gr to be longer than the 286 gr) and the TSX is 1.525. This is a...

Yep. My own evolution path was to initially up gun from the ubiquitous .375 H&H to the romantic .416 Rigby. Perfect for Buffalo! Then, as Elephant came into the realm of possibilities, I sold the .416 Rigby and up gunned to .470 double (Krieghoff) with the scoped Blaser R8 .375 H&H loaded with...

Well... yes and no... I appreciate your desire to help, but Buffalo Bore only offers a 250 gr TSX load. Their 286 gr. load uses a "Spitzer Soft Point", and they do not specify which one. I was looking for a 286 gr TSX load (as Barnes produced). Interestingly, Buffalo Bore also offers a...

I think that you might be right, and by that I mean that it looks like no documentation of an amendment of regulations seems to exist, that specifically addresses the 9.3x62. All I could come up with, is that the only document that includes firearms regulations appears to be Statutory...

FYI, all I have is the 1990 regulations, located at https://faolex.fao.org/docs/pdf/zim203513.pdf S.I. 362 of 1990 ... (3) Any person who hunts any animal specified in Part A of the Third Schedule shall use a weapon having a rifled barrel and propelling a projectile of not less than nine...

I agree with all the above posts (WAB, 375Fox, sgt_zim, etc.), and, to make this clear, I did not intend to indict the 9.3x62. I actually like the caliber, and it is the DG barrel on my wife's R8. What better can I say :cool: In terms of what she shoots: Barnes 9.3x62 factory ammo. The load...

Yep, it all works until you bump into a local with a chip on his shoulder wanting to show who is boss...
