Allen,

I can't think of a much better combination. For my first safari, in 1987, I took my old David Miller 270 for everything but buffalo, and a Heym 470 double for the buff. The biggest thing I shot with the 270 was a nice kudu. I used 130 grain Bitterroot bullets in front of H-4831 powder, traveling along at 3130 fps.Both rifles worked exactly as expected.

I would have been equally comfortable with a 375 H&H instead of the Heym 470. The others in our party all had 375s as their "big" rifle.
