In this episode, I cover the most popular 9.3mm and 375 caliber CIP and/or SAAMI certified cartridges and discuss their history, legacy, their strengths and weaknesses, and their recommended uses in detail. Most of those cartridges are very popular for hunting Africa, but as you’ll learn here shortly, that’s not the case with all of them. Indeed, a couple are uniquely American or European hunting cartridges and a couple of others aren’t even hunting cartridges at all!

Most of these cartridges (but especially the 9.3x62, 9.3x74R, 375 H&H, and 375 Ruger) are wonderful for all sorts of hunting, to include an African safari hunt for plains game and/or for cape buffalo hunting. Get in touch with Big Game Hunting Adventures (be sure to mention you're a podcast listener) if you have a 9.3 or a 375 you'd like to take on a hunt in Africa!
