I have hunted big game and been sucessful with:
303 British
30-30 Win
30-06 Gov
308 Win, Ruger M77 Ultra Light
7mm Rem Mag, Browning A -Bolt
7x57mm Mauser, Ruger No1 RSI and 1A
338 Win Mag, Sako 75
375 H&H, Ruger No1 H
My favorites go/to rifles are the 308, 7x57, and 338....The other 2 cailibers I still play with often....But I haven't used or owned a 303, 30-30, or a 30-06 in years.
This Year I am hoping to add my new 25-06 Rem, Ruger No1 A/H to the list.

Out the list above I used a Winchester model 70 chambered 300 Weatherby for most of my animals. As the hair turns grayer I am concluding I don't care for recoil too much. I'm gravitating to smaller calibers at this point.

Neither has let me down when used for intended purposes.

I just love to play with new rifles and cartridges. That's the only reason that I have 11 cartridges on my list. Hopefully 14 at the end of this fall.
I started with a .270 Win. and wouldn't have needed anything else either. But where's the fun in that?????
