How far are you comfortable shooting a …..?

What do feel is longest effective range when shooting a 9.3x62, a .375 HH and a .416 Rigby?
I know they will shoot a long distance but what is a reasonable maximum distance you shoot these calibers?
9.3x62 is my driven boar hunt rifle. Zeroed dead on 100 meters. I dont push farther, becasue of the type of hunt.

375 H&H I shot at max 209 m during hunt. But considering it has ballistics comparable to 30-06, i would go up to 250 meters, a distance to which I am comfortable with.
My 30-06, I shoot at max 250 meters.
Till know, I had no reason to push farther.

416 I dont have, never thought about it. But this is definitely DG caliber - so the question is what is DG hunting distance - and answer is, short range, up to 100.

Good Morning x84958
I have read your post about Jamy Traut and your hunt in Caprivi. I am planning such a hunt for 2026, Oct with Jamy.
Just a question , because I will combine Caprivi and Panorama for PG, is the daily rate the same the week long, I mean the one for Caprivi or when in Panorama it will be a PG rate ?
thank you and congrats for your story.
Best regards
Philippe from France

Hello Doug,
I am Philippe from France and plan to go hunting Caprivi in 2026, Oct.
I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
Merci
Philippe
