Everywhere else, it is a 300 win
I’ve never gone on a hunt where a 30/06 is suggested

Meat wastage is a result of 3 things, bullet construction, velocity, and shot placement. All of these can be altered dramatically with a 300 win mag. You can’t do the same with a 375. A 375 shooting soft points is going to make an absolute mess on anything it hits. And it’s going to have very disappointing penetration as well. Choosing the wrong bullet would also make your 375 pretty useless against a grizzly.
Give me a break. Mark the Model 70 has been around for over 100 years. The 20-06 trots the globe still. With great success. I have a globe trotting friend that just had a $15,000 rifle built for such purposes. Chambered in 30-06. Your view is myopic.
