don't pick the 375.  Case in point... We were on Kodiak this last fall and one of our group hunters emptied his magazine more than once trying to hit a 260 yard deer.  Close up (100-150 yards) his 375 gun was great and accurate, but once the distance increased, it sucked, frankly. His bullet drop off was terrible.  
The 338 Ultra is a great gun for all game--even deer should you so choose. It has excellent velocity as was mentioned and it has great power down range.  You might be shooting a bear from 200+ yards, get proficient with a 338 ultra and go get your bear or deer, or sheep or goat etc...
