Three years ago I hunted in Zim on a 2X1 buffalo and plains game hunt. My partner used a stainless #1 Tropical in 375 H&H. He had no problem. He and the PH fired at almost the same time in very thick brush from only 15 yards. The buffalo dropped in his tracks. (Shoulder/neck shots) While my preference is for a good bolt or double rifle, there is alot that can be said for the simplicity and accuracy and durability of the #1. I believe you could travel the world with great confidence that when you pulled the trigger, the gun would go off, and you would hit where you were aiming.
