Tomorrow I am sending a check off for a hunt early 2019 in Burkina Faso (BF) for Western Savannah Buffalo, roan and other plains game. I took my 416 Rem to Zimbabwe last year on buffalo and plains game and all went well though shots were, at most, 230 yards (kudu). The BF trip will include some smaller species (oribi, Grimm's duiker, harnessed bushbuck) and some shots at likely longer range. I would like to take my SS M70 375 primarily just to get it out again. It is dead accurate with the 270 gr TSX at 2700 fps, a load I put together for a brown bear hunt a couple of years ago. Is there a real need to bump the 375 load to the 300 gr TSX given the somewhat smaller buffalo (vs cape)?
