The idea of carrying some big, heavy 375 H&H year-in and year-out as the one and only rifle for everything in NA from from Coues deer to Alaskan brown bear is absolutely irrational, especially since most of the hunting, by far, will be for stuff like deer and elk, with coastal brown bear being hunted perhaps once or twice in a lifetime - if that.

Good observation. I didn't want to be first to say something like it...

I have no problem with anyone who wants to use a .375 as his only gun or picks it as the favorite here, and I used mine for years on most game I shot {as you say, deer and elk} with excellent results. But on deer and elk, a number of other calibers have suited me just fine, and since switching primarily to the 9.3x57 and 6.5x55 in the timbered and mountainous country where I live and hunt, I've not missed the ballistics of the .375 at all, and no deer or elk shot with either of those lighter calibers {or the others I've used} has taken any longer to die than the critters did that were shot with my .375...
