This may or may not have any bearing on this thread, but a few weeks ago I saw a 300-grain Trophy Bonded from a Federal factory load .375 H&H deflect off the shoulder of a buffalo. The bull was just about perfectly broadside, and the bullet hit the shoulder about 1/4 of the way up. It should have been a 1-shot kill, but the bullet evidently tumbled, and instead of plowing on through the heart, it made a big curve through the near lung, ending at the rear of the ribs ON THE SAME SIDE as it went in. It was perfectly expanded.
Would a 380-grain Rhino have done the same thing? Don't know, but it seems less likely.
To a certain extent I agree with Allen--whynot just go to a .416?--but many people prefer the .375, partly because it is more versatile (or at least perceived to be so). A heavy-bullet buffalo load makes it more versatile.
