45cal for sure. I load my 458accrel with 400gr to match 450/400NE ballistics when I want mild, 400gr at 2600fps when shooting with 416Rigby owners, too pee them off, 500gr at 2230fps is mild and runs like a hot loaded 458WM, better a 300gr at 2800fps for a deer hunt. For my mind, the 45cal has it all over the 416s.
But... I've grabbed a Ruger Hawkeye 30/06 as a donor for a 400whelen. So who knows what next year's favourite will be.
Cheers...
