Tarbe... KISS is a decent way to go, especially in game-rich country like the BVC where you are almost certainly going to encounter DG on a daily basis. Part of my reasoning for taking my 375 as my "everything" rifle there was based on John Sharp's observation that one might be comfortable shooting an impala with a .243, but if a lioness or two in the mopane decided to contest one's ownership of the carcass, that .243 will seem awfully inadequate quite suddenly.
Carrying a rifle that is big enough for ANY game animal you're likely to encounter suddenly in the bushveldt simply makes too much sense to me to do anything else.
