I've come to this thread a bit late and haven't read the last twenty pages so excuse me if I repeat what's been said.
I use a 9.3x62 barrel on my Blaser R93.
Shooting 320 grain Woodleighs at around 2150 fps.
Test shot on a big Rusa saw him go about 20 metres after a broadside heart explosion.
Took the set up to Zambia for first time Buffalo hunt as intended.
First Buff was head on chest shot. Buff staggered about five metres and fell over dead. Range was about 60m.
Next Buff was another head on but from about 140 m. He ran, fell, got up and staggered to a tree where he sat down very sick. Finished him off to be humane as he was dying.
Hartebeest was again facing and chest shot saw him run about twenty metres loosing all his hydraulic fluid on the way !
Love the heavy for calibre moderate speed approach. Quality bullets helped.
Love the calibre.
