Thanks guys,
I love shooting my 375 H&H and have taken everything from steenbok to cape buffalo with it.
I'm experimenting with the 230 grain CEB Raptor ESP bullets, so far I've gotten up to 2886 fps and shooting about 3/4", 3 shot groups at 100 yards. I'm going to try them at 300 yards if I can get some free time to get to the range soon.

Take the 375. Mine went with me as an only rifle on two trips there, and glad I brought it. PH's like them, because they leave big holes ( normally an in and an out) an a good corresponding blood trail, if you have to track.Of course smaller calibers work too, but hey, it's AFRICA! What the 375 was made for! Have a great trip!
