[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 737619, member: 10291"] My trips to Africa were both combos for plains game and dangerous game, buffalo and lion. I brought two rifles after my first trip a 375 H&H Whitworth,and a 500-450 H&H Double. The first trip i brought only my 375 which I used on a buffalo. The 375 was perfect for the plains game, but seemed underpowered for buffalo. I don't believe a couple hundred FPS extra velocity would have made much difference. My lion(tracked in Botswanna), and buffalo were all shot at 20-25 yards. At close quarters in the thick brush I prefer the bigger bores for mean guys. The difference in killing power is quite noticeable. IMHO. [/QUOTE]
