My original posts indicates that I consider the 9.3x62 all the gun one would need for buffalo..I could use it for buffalo for the remainder of my life and be Ok with it I suppose, but its not a 416, 458 Lott or 505..It is a minimum buffalo caliber, and IMO rates right beside the .338 Win....The .338 Win. max load will push a 300 gr. Woodleigh at 2450 FPS and the 9.3x62 with a long throat and magazine loaded max will push a 320 gr. Woodleigh at 2400 FPS, that balances out pretty close IMO...I like both cartridges real well.
