Questions for Saeed
Saeed, as a person whom has taken more buffalo than probably everyone on this forum combined, I'm thinking you would have reasonable answers to the following questions.
How much better is the .416 caliber on buffalo than the .375 caliber?
What caliber really shows a drastic improvement in killing power from the legal minimum 9.3 x 62 mm mauser? I've heard it really doesn't start until you reach .500 caliber cartridges. This coming from guides such as Ganyana.

Thanks in advance,

Remington copied Saeed's with their 375 RUM.

I never owned a 375 H&H therefore I am not familiar with the cartridge and it's limitations but I was just wondering what if any shortcomings brought on the desire for a 375 RUM or other boosted 375?

I think it is the lack of the belt, and the ability to push it a little faster.
