What off-the-beaten-path cartridge do you feel is most deserving of, based on merit, belonging with the likes of the .270/7mmRM/30-06/.300WM? (okay, maybe a bit more niche than those but you know what I'm getting at) .35 Whelen? .338-06? Other? (This is for hunting, not target shooting)
If there's one thing I've become certain of it's that there's too much certainty in the world.

I'd say the 338-06, 35 Whelen, and 6.5-06 could be in the running. Seems you hear of those more often than any other.

See, I was thinking of an '06 necked to take 6.8 bullets.
This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

Is an AI considered a wildcat?
Or merely an abberation?

6.5-06 and the .338-06 are my two wildcat favs if you still call the 338-06 a cat. I do.

I've seen a 7mm Yukon based on 300 Win brass with a steeper shoulder.
Similar to the Mashburn ?

.25-284 Flinch That one has been off the Campfire radar long enough now to be considered "retro". Fancy rebated rims, fat bodies, and sharp shoulders...... I'll keep on shooting mine until it dies.
Now with even more aplomb

Varmints and pronghorn I love my 6x47 Rem.
Larger game I've got the 8mm-06, .338-06 and Whelen to get the job done.

If I could just borrow a reamer to run in there to make mine a no turn neck it would rock. Actually the wife's gun, but it is cool. Too bad she has barred me from shooting it without her supervision.
