Default RE: .375 Winchester...Adequate for Elk, Moose, and Bro

Just glancing at a 2001 Winchester Ammunition Guide.
ENERGY
--------------------100yds-----200yds.
.375 Win.200gr.----1506 ft.lbs. 1034
30/30 170gr.-------1355--------- 989
30/06 180 gr.------2436---------2023

So its energy levels are a bit better than a 30/30 but not near a 30/06. It is an interesting cartridge for one who wants a little more power than a 30/30, in a lever action, without going for a really big bore like the 45/70, 444 Marlin or the 450 Marlin.
