I would have to look at my hunting notes to come up with an exact figure, but have no doubt that I've seen far more plains game wounded with .375's and similar cartridges than smaller rounds. This hasn't been due only to the shooter not being able to handle the recoil, but harder-recoiling cartridges breaking more scopes.
I will also note that a few shooters find rifle that didn't make them flinch back in the U.S. does cause a flinch when they shoot it almost every day on a plains game safari. Have seen the shooting ability of several hunters decline during a 10-day or 2-week safari as their magnum started wearing them down.
Of course, none of this could ever happen to any member of the Campfire.
