Re: 416 Rem. 350 grain vs. 375 H&H versatility.

I guess my only argument with shooting the light weight bullets in the 375 would be in the case of hunting multiple species on the same hunt. That being said, it would seem like a good idea to at least stay at 270 gr. or above, especially since the point of impact would likely be way different between the light weights and the heavier bullets. That being said, the 375 and 416 are much closer in trajectory, although not quite the same. The reason I'm asking, is that I'm trying to decide between my 416 and my 375 Ruger for a cape buffalo/plains game hunt. I would most likely only take 1 gun if I ever get to go.
re: highlighted text = not at all. Most .375's print all bullet weights rather closely - even some 9.3's show this trait as well.
All bullets from 225gr. through 300gr. will go into a 3" group at 100yards, with the 225's and 235's striking in the bottom of that 3" circle, the 270 TSX hitting the middle and 300's from Hornady, Sierra and Normal all going into one small, barely an inch group at the top of the circle. That's NICE!
