IMHO there is nothing, I repeat, nothing, walking around in North America, and possibly the world,that the .375 H&H won't handle with a well placed shot. I would have no hesitation in using it for another Elk. I have used mine for Moose, Bear, Boar, Elk & Caribou. All one shot kills, no tracking required. Ranges were from about 35 to over 250 yards.
As far as overkill is concerned, there is no such thing. Dead is dead, is dead. If I had to limit myself to just one big game hunting rifle, it would be my .375, with my .338 WM a close second.
I have never found extra power to be a negative. It's comforting to know it's there if you should need it.
