Read it again. I am not comparing the 30-06 to the 375. I am saying that if the 30-06 won't do the job, I want the 375 H&H. If I couldn't have that, I would use the 300 Mag. To do something better than the 300 or the 30-06, I would move up to the 375 H&H. This is from using them all extensivly in the field. INCLUDING the 338. Move up to the 340 Weatherby and gain another 1000 lb of energy, then I might consider that caliber. However the 340 Is to expensive to own and operate. I have my Uncles old 375 H&H.
