I really like the .375 Win. I have been using Volmer 220 grain bullets in mine. They do a great job and wouldn't hesitate using them on elk sized game. If you are thinking of a new encore barrel don't rule out the 30-06. My 06 Encore shoots 1/2" groups and gets 150fps more than my friends .308. Nothing wrong with the .308 but every little bit helps with short barrels.
