I gotta add a 257 Roberts to my list.
If I could ever figure out what gun to build one on that would suit my needs it might just be my first custom.

270 Winchester............  I say that sorta "tongue-in-cheek" because it has been criticized over the years by many who constantly rap it for being inadequate, not flat shooting enough, not powerful enough, not accurate enough, etc,etc,ad nauseum. Yet it has buried, and continues to bury, its competition, and very few cartridges that approximate its ballistics are anywhere near it in popularity.Other cartridges in its' general power range offer absolutely nothing in the way of a significant improvement in its field performance. Every year it piles up more tons of game,from moose on down than a lot of cartidges designed to be its superior. Up close and across canyons, it just continues to roll big game of all sizes from light-weight, portable rifles that are easy to shoot, and accurate enough and flat-shooting enough for any rational use. Very well said. Mine shoots mild recoil reduced load 110 Sierra's for year 'round shooting! Bob

375 Weatherby
9,3X62
9,3X74R
8X57...JS,JR,JRS
358 Norma Mag
308 Norma Mag
300 H&H
The 375 Wby with 260-270gr bullets has the same trajectory as a 180gr 30-06 and hits like a BIG hammer. In a pinch it can use 375 H&H ammo. If I could have only one, this is it.

The 280 Remington is overbore.

250-3000 savage. A more than adequate cartridge which was over run by the 257 roberts and 25-06.

When I read the thread title I immediately thought of the 284 win and the 260 rem. I'm pleasantly surprised to see so many votes.
Life's too short to hunt with an ugly gun.

250-3000 savage. A more than adequate cartridge which was over run by the 257 roberts and 25-06. Huh? Might want to read up on that. The .250-3000 was nearly extinct when the .25-06 was standardized in 1969. It also held its own, saleswise, against the .257 Roberts until the 6mms showed up in the '50s.

The 6.5x55 Swede. Great little round. Maybe one of the few inherently accurate rounds.

Here's another vote for the .284. The rest of my list are Remington offerings that didn't get the public's nod like the 5mm rimfire, 6mm Rem, 8mm Rem Mag and the .350 Rem.

.260 Remington & .358 Winchester. I could substitute the 6.5-06 and .338-06 cartridges as better all 'rounders.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

One that has been overlooked even in this thread is the .220 Swift........does what it was designed to do better than any round ever sold.

I'll second the 8mm Remington Magnum. It is probably one of the most under appreciated cartridges I know of for Western hunting. Fast and hits like a ton of bricks with reasonable recoil. I wish i had never sold mine.
