Most Americans want to be over gunned for plainsgame, its part of the mistique of Africa...

To me the perfect plainsgame rifle is 300 H&H and I would include most of the 300 in that catagory..I like the 200 gr. Nosler to top off the best plainsgame rifle...

The .338 Win. with the 210 Nosler is its full equal.....

That said, anything from a 7x57 to a 416 Rem suits me fine..as long as I have a proper bullet for the game I am hunting.....I am a bit partial to the plain jane .308 with 180 gr. Noslers, it sure works.
