Easy, If you want an classic cartridge that does work with litle fuss the 9,3X62 is the one to pick. I'ts easy to find components and ammo for even in Africa.
375H&H is a nice cartridge but has a bit unmodern case design compared to the 9,3X64 A 375 on a 8X68S or 9,3X64 case is much better
There's no fleas on the 338 Win Mag, but I chose a 9.3 x 62 to replace a 338 as a bad critter rifle due to magazine capacity--5 rounds as opposed to 3 in most conventional turnbolts. I'm a true believer in Murphy's Law, and that it gets no plea bargains--so 5 beats 3 in my book. A little interlude with a pissed-off black bear in a berry patch that my wife and I could hear and smell--but not see--caused me to upgrade the backcountry armament from Ruger Redhawk in 44 Mag x 5.5" to the CZ-550 with CRF, 5-round capacity, and BIG, HEAVY bullets of the Nosler Partition persuasion at 2450 FPS.
