Which ever your rifle prefers the best as they are both great bullets (Barnes or Swift A-Frame).
 
Whatever premium bullet works in your rifle is the best one. Some bullets seem to be a lot more forgiving than others. The Sierra Gameking is one that seems to work in every rifle and are quite accurate.
Years ago I could not get the Barnes to work out of a Ruger Hawkeye M77 in 300 Win.

What do recommend as a bullet for plains game? Largest animal I’m shooting is a kudu and I may possible use the rifle for a giraffe, smallest is an impala.
I have shot 43 African animals with 190 grain long range accubonds. Everything from eland to Impala. In 300wsm I am loading 62.5 grains of imr4831

Given your experience, I have to question why are even asking?

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
