My favorite cartridge for Cape buffalo is the 416 Rem. Mag., and I consider it to be the perfect for that purpose.

You can build a 416 Rem. Mag. on a lighter, smaller action that you'd ideally need for a 416 Rigby, plus you can build the entire rifle to be the size and weight of a 375 H&H, with a magazine that holds four-down, but is no deeper than a standard box. A 416 Rem. Mag. can be built much lighter and handier than a 416 Ribgy, so it's much easier to carry all day long if need be in the bush, yet achieve the same ballistics, plus kick much less than the big 458s do, yet hammer buff significantly harder than the 375 H&H.

With the 416 Remington, you can have the best of all worlds in one package...........
