I would use the 270 TSX. Tell your PH whatever he wants to hear. PH’s are not rifle nuts, usually, and are creatures of habit. If he wants a Swift say “that’s right” and do what you want. If he wants 350’s or 300’s just agree.
On buffalo I would never load backup solids. That idea is a holdover from the old days when expanding bullets routinely failed.
I promise you that you will have thought about it more than he has.
The most important thing is to be patient and place the first shot perfectly. Don’t rush into a poor shot.
Solids are for elephants and hippos.
