Lots of comments by some that have not used the .338 on Buffalo or probably anything else for that matter based on their "asumptions"..It's a flat shooting son of a gun with a 210 Nosler at 3005 FPS, a 250 gr. Nosler at 2750 FPS and a 300 gr. Woodleigh at 2500 FPS..A 250 Nosler btw will shoot through a buffalo broadside almost every time and a 300 gr. Woodleigh will also, but the 300 gr. woodleigh PP will shoot them lengthwise.
I will state flat out that you cannot tell any difference in a 338 300 gr. Woodleigh PP bullet at 2500 FPS from a 300 gr. 375 bullet at 2500 FPS and a 100 to 200 FPS either way will not make any difference...I will add the 9.3x62 with a 300 gr. or 320 gr. Woodleigh to that same equasion..
If The 338 Win., 9.3x62, or .375 do not suit you and they are so close to equal that you can't tell much if any differnce in the field, then you best jump to the 40 calibers or larger.
If I had to hunt buffalo the rest of my life with a .338 Win. or 9.3x62 and 300 gr. bullets it would not be tragic or earth shaking, but it wouldn't be my choice either, I'd pick the 416 Remington as a matter of fact.
