Have told this story before, but one of the most experienced African PHs I've hunted with (and have hunted with a few) often used his .375 H&H as back-up on buffalo hunts, even in the very thick jesse of Zimbabwe--where he grew up, when it was Rhodesia, and killed his first buffalo in his teens. He told me that he was often "seriously out-gunned" by some clients--but still had to follow up many wounded bulls. and finish them with his .375.
I asked him what his favorite .375 bullet was, and he explained that since it was often difficult (or even illegal) to handload in Africa, he often used whatever ammo his clients left with him at the end of the safari, saying: "Today's bullets are all good." Oh, and he retired a few years ago
But am sure that some American hunters who been on buffalo safaris will soon post about how he didn't know what he was talking about....
