Firstly, as I've clearly stated I have not hunted Tanzania, but thanked you for your professional experience in putting me right regarding Tanzania's laws.
Secondly - and no offense - but I legally hunted a buffalo in SA (also clearly identified in my prior post) with two qualified PHs licensed to take DG: the Owner/Operator and one of his PH's. Neither raised any concerns about minimum calibres with me using a 9.3x62 at any point during the hunt or since. Furthermore, PH Kevin Robertson has published that he uses a 9.3x62, for those recoil conscious clients, which he also states does the job as effectively as a .375HH would. I don't know why the 9.3x62 raises your bile, but as far as I know, it's not an illegal calibre to use in SA. If it is, I'll happily PM you the names of both PHs so you can take the matter up with them and PHASA. Thank you.
You miss the point..
We are talking 28 days hunting, 3 Buff, lion and leopard in Tanzania, not buffalo in SA....the legality of which would be dependent on which province, not that that have anything to with regards to suggesting the 9.3x62 mm for DG in Tanzania...
And yes, 9.3x62 mm is not legal for use on Cape buffalo in all provinces of SA...
9.3x62 mm is a great caliber but not legal in Tanzania for the mentioned game...
