For me it would be the 340. Fast and flat, and enough juice for really big stuff. One of my wildcats and the rifle I have killed the most game with (well into the hundreds of head of big game, a couple of continents) is essentially a short neck longer bodied 340WBY. 225gr TTSX's at 3100fps are a marvelous combination.

Since I don't have to limit to just one, I also have a 257BEE for deer and similar sized animals. I like that one a lot, too. With the 4 or 5 257WBY's I have owned since the early 80's, 40 or 50 deer at least. Many here have shot more than my number, but IME the 257 WBY is an ideal deer smacker.
