While short on experience on DR I did have one -- had to have at least one. It was a Chapuis model no longer made in 9.3x74 and at the time was around 5k I believe. It was well made with pretty wood and wafted around like a little heavier 28 ga. This was after I went to Namibia where a Blaser R98 in 375 worked wonderfully.
But the little Chapuis was very nice. I took it on a no-pressure bison hunt after a couple of years and about a 900 lb heifer (for meat) convened with a 286-gr Norma Oryx soft point at about 75 yards. She on the run at a ninety degree angle from me. I always thought the 9.3, kind of a delicate 375, was a nice leggy cartridge, if a bit thin wasted.
I expect it's worked on buff many a time but wouldn't be my choice. IMO, DR for hunting gunnies are more an affliction than apropo for most uses.
