I moved your post down here, bigfive.
If you've read any thign at all about Africa, you already know that the 375 is "the" classic african rifle. They consider it a medium bore there, not too big for smallish antelope, perfect for medium size plains game and not too undergunned if something tries to bite you.
Subject to correction, I think the preferred bullet would be a 270-gr or 300-gr solid for most game, although softpoints might be acceptable for non-dangerous game.
This will be heresy from a hardcore handloader, but you'de be best suited by sticking to factory ammo. It's created with Africa in mind, ALWAYS chambers perfectly and is available almost anywhere over there if your shipment gets lost. And, you'd be sighted in for it.
