I like the 22" barrel on my Highland Stalker in 9.3, feels like the perfect barrel length. The rifle is still very easy to swing and I'm still able to get good velocities out of it. I use it alot on running pigs here in Australia.

A Mauser or Rigby in 458 Lott would be a cool rifle. Did you get to look at the new Mauser model? I think they are calling them the "das original" I see Mauser have been posting them online, I'd like to know what the difference is between the new model and the model 98 experts and diplomats...

It certainly will be in a hunt report when I get back from the BVC early October

I've been spending a bit of time on the range with a Rigby Big Game PH in 375H&H I picked up recently. I'm taking it with me on a late season buffalo and Hyena hunt this year. I've worked up a load using 350 grain Woodleigh heavy duty softs which I will use on the hunt later this year. I also...

Awesome bull!

Yeah I did a non-trophy buffalo hunt with Dave, early season last year. I have just booked another non-trophy buffalo and hyena hunt with Dave for late season this year and we are also discussing the possibility of adding a non-trophy elephant on to the end of this hunt in another area. Dave...

Bloody nice rifles!

@Red Leg That's an unfair comparison, there is no way an 88mm would produce as much blast as a 460 Weatherby with an 18" barrel and a muzzle brake

I'm doing a buffalo and Hyena hunt out of this camp at the end of this year. Any photos of the duggaboy you got?

I use 320 grain Woodleighs in my 9.3X62 at around 2260fps, I used to run them at 2300fps but dialled it back a bit. I have posted quite a few photos on here of recovered projectils from pigs, scrub bulls and buffalo.

Worked up a new load for my Highland Stalker in 9.3X62, I have been whacking a few boars around the paddocks with it. Great penetration, mild recoil, hits hard and super accurate. This will definietly be the plains game load I take with me for my 9.3 on my next hunt in Africa. 232 Grain...

Ive owned both, the RSM is built like a tank and the Kimber is lighter with some nice features like glass bedding. You can't go wrong with either, if you prefer a bigger heavier rifle go with the RSM, if you prefer a rifle thats a little lighter and classier go with the Kimber.

My Rigby in 404 Jeffery

I haven't used the 9.3X74R to hunt buffalo but I have used my 9.3X62 on buffalo. I handload 320 grain Woodleighs, can still achieve good velocity with the heavy for calibre bullet and the 320 grain 9.3 calibre bullets have a very high SD which helps to provide good penetration.
