Personally I'd use my everyday work horse the 300WM with 180 gr A Frame @ 2920 fps.
Should I risk dangerous game encounters, I'd opt for the 375HH also with 300 gr A Frame @ 2550 fps. Of course if eles in the area , 375HH with GPA solid @ 2170 fps.
I like your choices of bullets and calibers..mine are very similar..my last trip to African I switched from 180 to 200 gr A-Frames..like them even more..as you know most shots are relatively close..and the 200 gr is great on both energy and penetration..I was shooting them out of a 300RUM
I use the same load for the 375..but will load up some 270gr before heading after Eland for next year..
