Which one or botb?

Take both, you have a backup if something happens with one or the other.
 
What seven besides the buffalo did you harvest? I am going for buffalo, Sable, Gemsbuck, Kudu, Nyala and possibly Roan. If the distance is under 150 yards the 416 sould be fine I think. Beyond that I would choose the 375 H&H. Realistically, whatever the bush gives you will be dealt with by whatever is in my hand at the time.
Waterbuck, 2 blue wildebeest, impala, kudu, zebra and warthog plus with the buffalo. I used a 400gr Barnes TSX in the .416.
In the .375, I used a 300gr Swift AF.
 
Take the .375 HH, sell the .416.... You will thank me.
The .375 will take everything you will encounter. I have used .458 Lott, .458 WM, .416 Rem Mag, .416 Rigby. All kill buffalo. The .375 HH kills them just as dead.
 
Buffalo Bore has 400gr TSX loaded in their 416 Ruger @2400 fps. That would be the ticket, if you can find them in stock. Hornady just released some 416 brass so maybe BB will load more soon.
My vote!
 
I vote for the .416 ruger mainly because I aspire to own one soon and want to see your results for my own edification . Selfish reasons for sure but I am being honest.
 
I have a CZ 550 in .375 H&H. It shoots well and the recoil is moderate. The moderate recoil is largely because it's a heavy rifle. I've used it for buffalo and a variety of plains game and it has worked well. I have no experience with the Winchester.

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
