A friend of mine is..
I kind of think it'll be short lived on WTs but will end up a Elk ? Rifle or bear if he ever goes that way.

I took my Hawkeye African elk hunting in Montana last year, but I used the new NULA '06 for deer in Colorado.
This year I have a Ruger Hawkeye .300 RCM on the way, and I may use that rifle for both this year.

I've used my 375 Wby a fair bit for lopes/deer and course chucks,yotes, beer and elk. It'll do the job and I see no reason why not to.
As for over kill, I think of over kill as walking up to your fallen animal and then emptying the rest of the rounds in your gun into it.

*L* Yep, as long as there's one hole, taint no such thing as overkill. Lotsa guys (self included) travel to work with larger vehicles than need be for transportation. Same szchit, different pile...

Planning a 375 Alaskan. Don't know for what, yet.

I've got a .375 Ruger that I'm planning on taking a few deer with next season. Not every hunt, but I think it will probably work to get it a little action......
