For a one gun safari, I believe I would go with the .375 H&H. For a two gun safari the big one would be the .416 Rigby aand the "light" rifle the .300 Win. mag. with 200 gr. Nosler Partitions loaded to 2900 FPS. (That's aleady my go to elk load.) The .375 would be loaded with a 300 gr. soft up the spout with the rest of the magazine filled with solids if the game as something big and nasty. The .416 would have a soft for the first shot with solids ready to go in a butt cuff. Both my .375 and .416 are single shots at this point in time and I feel they are perfectly adequate, even for the big and nasty.
