As you have a 8x68 barrel (ie .323) on the way and you already have a .375 H&H in my mind it would make more sense to go something closer to .35 cal.
You have stated that you are not interested in .35 whelen but how about something exotic in 9mm.
A 9x57mm might be a bit too boring for you but how about 9x63mm. Its ballistics as the same as the ones you are considering but if built on a .358 barrel you will have an easy supply of projectiles from <180gr all the way to 300gr.

I've explained what I'm looking for. Something around .330 for BGRC and also for medium game.
Not interested in .35 at all, but if a vintage .350 Rigby happened by, could change my mind. Same for calibres, like 9.5x57 etc if a vintage Mannlicher Schoenauer happened by again. But that is more about the rifle than the chambering.
I'd go for a 9.3 or 9.5 anyday before anything else.
Not looking to filling any "gaps", except for .500 plus.
Really not interested in discussing sundry other cartridges as I'm only looking at the .318 or .333 as mentioned in the first post.
