I watched my son down a nice size Bull with a 308/180 (NP) and we didn't have to track it, so the 375 is certainly more than enough. I say go for it, let that rifle pay for itself.

I have a single 375 H&H brass case that I found, and it sorta makes me want to get one. It looks like it would be real easy to load for. I'm hesitant though because I know the power is not needed for Elk.

What's your max range you'll shoot at? That might be the only thing that could indicate usefulness of a 375. Hope the barrel isn't too long. A long barrel would be a nuisance in heavy timber.

Good luck no matter what you choose to go with!
