From my stand point the 378 Weatherby does not really fit for 2 out of your 3 wants.A 340 Weatherby would have been a much better choice for all three of your hunting scenarios.And would have been much better on your shoulder.

The only problem there is that the .340 is not legal for cape buffalo.

As some of you know I'm a fan of big guns, heavy recoil while being unpleasant isn't a worry when one is hunting. I can tell you now that I have never felt the recoil from my .460 WBY when my crosshairs are settled on the shoulder of a big dangerous critter.
