Was last time I was there, and was semi common. When did that change? Dr. Kevin Robertson who hunts there quite a lot uses the ballistically identical 9.3x62 and writes about it in the latest Barnes manual.

Regulations in Zim have a minimum energy requirement, which neither the 9.3 X 62 or 9.3 X 74 meet with factory loads. That said, when did the Mugabe regime ever care about the law?
Talk to your PH. Most all that have seen it in action are happy with it. There are places I've hunted buff with the 9.3 X 62 that state the .375 H & H is the minimum, but the PH's accept the 9.3 X 62 as the metric equivalent. I'm not sure very many of the game scouts can do the the math on the conversion, and thus really object.

And doesn't Ganyana who posts a lot over at AR use his 9.3x62 as a backup rifle in Zim?

On my last trip, I specifically asked my PH if he would allow me to use either my 9.3x74R or 9.3x62 on cape buffalo, and he said "sure". He is a big fan of the 9.3s...

Guys never mind what the PH says!!! The Zim Govt requirement for DG - Ele, Buff and Hippo - is a rifle with a barrel no less than 500mm in length, with a bore of no less than 9.2 mm (.362")and PRODUCING NO LESS THAN 5,4 KILOJOULES OR 3982 FT LBS OF ENERGY.
Other countries may be different!

Hatari, please don't go about telling people to disregard the laws especially in Africa...Our jails are dirty, dark places where nothing good happens. You certainly don't wanna be the first to get caught! It's not the game scouts you gotta worry about...it's all the office workers who have little better to do than study the Parks act! Beware!!
