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?
 
175 LRx, 190 LRX, 200 LRX
175 Terminal Ascent , 200 Terminal Ascent
Find what your rifle likes and go. I do tend to pick the heaviest bullet the rifle likes for African game as the shots are not typically far and the animals are tough.
My 300 Weatherby and. 200 terminal Ascent are the shit!
