Deciding on an R93 calibre for Buff and big pigs.

I'm trying to decide on what barrel to get For my R93 for shooting Buff and Big pigs.
The Pigs are the biggest and nastiest that I have ever encountered with none under 100kg a lot 150kg+ and a habit of charging every time with ranges from 20m-250m, the Buff are solid and very alert with most shots either being 50m- running strait at you or 100+ running away from you.

I have a 9.3X62 Barrel ATM but I have never used one before so I lack confidence in it's performance as it's not the most impressive round I do however have faith in the 375H&H thats rock solid as it has performed outstanding in the past, but A mate has a very high recommendation for the 300wby and has shot a hell of a lot of Buff with it.

My trouble is that I also plan on hunting Moose and Bear in Canada late next year or so where range and power will be a factor, I think the 300wby would be best for that but I don't class it as a stopping caliber for the Buff, and both the (.3 and H&H might be short on range for the moose as ranges can go to 300m.

So do I get the 300wby or use my 270wby for Canada and one of the others for Buff and pig's here.
