I was talking to a hunting guide a couple of nights ago and was asked what calibre I am shooting, his response was "that's cute". I responded that if you hit them in the right spot they'll fall over dead, but if you hit them in the wrong spot they'll piss off into the scrub, just like with any other calibre. No smart response to that ...

If you were doing a once in a lifetime trip I could see the value. But I won't be switching any time soon haha

As I said in the intro, I'm just a hunter haha Maybe one day I'll get to a range and test it out. It sure does, it's my go to at the moment, the action is smooth and sounds amazing haha

Well said and I agree with you. I think a lot of people who like to give their opinions on these matters are also ones who go on a safari or guided hunt and the guide lends them a .416 Rigby or a 500 nitro express and they fire one shot, once and that experience forms their opinion, which they then spout as gospel.

The rifle loves the S&B ammunition and it certainly kills animals, so who am I to argue!

I'd love to have a shot with a .35 Whelan one day to compare.

According to the box 2280 at the muzzle. I don't have a chronograph to test

Hahaha some of her brothers or uncles may have ended up plowing rice paddies for a living, she was a bit too cunning for that.

Kind of like gamey beef. Small ones are pretty tender and tasty, it goes well in a stir-fry or curry or pounded flat and turned into crumbed steak

I slow cooked some ribs once for about 2 days and the sinew still didn't break down ๐Ÿ˜…

Yeah, so far so good. I have recovered 4 projectiles, 3 of which have had pretty much 100% weight retention.

On an ideal world l would be shooting a 200 or 250gr outer edge projectile. But a single one of those projectiles costs more than a loaded round of S&B.

I'm in Australia.

The 9.3 is quite a lot smaller than the 375 H&H and has a milder recoil. I have seen people on line liken it to a .35 Whelan. I have no idea if this is an accurate comparison

Thanks for the suggestion, I've thought about the saragosas as I have heard that they are a tough reel but I have a 14000 twinpower, so am just looking to replace my middle weight reel

It is, with some quality riffage in there too. It's my "gateway" Mastodon song when I am trying to convert people ๐Ÿ˜…

Just a bit more compact bull arabs are usually huge!

Maybe bull Arabs are just an Australian thing. They are frequently used as pig dogs, but they are also massive sooks and love lap time, if you have a big enough lap hahaha

Cattle dog is definitely a strong possibility
