338 or 375 of some flavor, easy to load down for smaller, enough HP to mostly stay out of trouble on the big stuff.
Generally speaking, Barnes projectiles all the way.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

My one gun preference would be my .30-06s. Just in case I have three. The 200 NP would seem to do most well enough, but 150 and 180s have a place.
Just in case the government ever gets nasty, and I am______forced_____ to comply with a one rifle edict, mine is a Blaser R-93 with a .270 and a 9.3x62 barrels. Might even get a ..22-250 barrel.

Good points, MD. I remember reading an article by him in one of the hunting magazines of that period. He used a 220 gr. FMJ on his Walrus.
The Remington 30S was a very slick rifle. My grandfather had one in the then wildcat .22-250. We shot the barrel out of it. E

I'd roll with a VZ-24(new yugo barrel in a McMilian) in 8x57 200gr Partitions loaded to 2550 or so....and a Weaver Classic K4 on top. Not really the "best" at anything, but it would get it done.

Hunting an animal is one thing, retrieving another. Anyone that has hunted big, mature billies knows how tough they can be. Even the best placement might still amount to the "death dive" in tough country.
I've killed them with a .270/.280 and others with a .300wm and I've since learned....give me the .30 cal and magnum for the best chance of anchoring a big goat.
Do-it-all: .300wm 180 gr.
