I do not have personal experience with the Woodleighs in .375", but I have seen the 286gr Weldcore 9,3mm exspand willingly even with 9,3x57 velocity. For what you are looking for driven hunts you should might consider the Brenneke TUG. For Buffalo I guess the standard Weldcore .375" 300gr is too soft, after the Informations I have heard and seen.
I have shot numerous water buffalo, a cape buffalo, scrub bulls, donkeys and pigs from small to large with the 300 gr Woodleigh Weldcore RN and the bullets always seemed to work well. I don't think they are too soft at all. The large soft point also allows reliable expansion.
Granhavn,
I am using the above bullet in my .375 H&H Mag bolt rifle, but only at about 2300 fps. This is about 200 to 250 fps faster than you are shooting them at. Of course there is velocity loss once it leaves the barrel. Just for information.
