the 375H&H has enough for cape buffalo, cousin took his with 300gr solids.

the 375 and 416 are certainly flatter than the 458

the 375 and 458 are more popular/cheaper I would think than a 416, but I think the 416 is growing in popularity.

My thoughts are to look at the .416-.458 calibers..but they aren't as adept for a 300yd shot as the .375's are...BUT they pack a bit more punch when it may be needed.

As far as my 7wsm goes..I like it. As long as Federal keeps packaging the Barnes TSX..I'm happy-and I can always get hand loads after that.
