Cape Buffalo cow hunt with 9.3x62mm recommendations?

"TSALA can easily do this at affordable rate"

Thanks for the reference!
 
I shot a buffalo cow at Tally Ho last year after doing a "low crawl" for 40 minutes. Low crawl is a technique that most Marines and soldiers may have tried to forget. Slowly we edged closer until at 50 yards we found a small tunnel through the bush that offered a decent shot.

There were at least a dozen cows and young bulls in that small herd that we got close enough to. My PH Rudi was ecstatic that we were successful in our stalk. I was also rather pleased!

I've had good luck with Varget and the Speer 270 or Nosler 286 grainers.
 
Just talk to the outfitters closer to the Kruger park area on using the 9.3 we there is a fair amount of local hunters who take buffalo especially cows with 9.3 x 62.
In 2006 I guided my Swedish agent on a PAC hippo in Limpopo he was using his 9.3x62 a nature conservation officer came along to oversee the hunt and he was happy for the client to use the 9.3 x 62.
He did however state that if it was PAC elephant he would not allow the 9.3.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
