I have seen Saeed at AR, kill probably 50 or more buffalo with his 375/404 with 300 gr. monolithic bullets at about 2700 and at 2900 (couldn't tell much difference) and I have to tell you he kills them dead...I, on the other hand, have shot a lot of buffalo with a standard .375 and it has always worked for me, but I can see the difference in the two and the winner is the 375/404 by a margin...

That said, I would not take any amount of money for my English 375 H&H, nor will I ever hesitate to shoot anything with it, including elephant, because after cutting through the BS, it's where you stick'um that counts.
