For the game mentioned and as a hunter not a guide a 35 Whelen or 338 Win Mag would suffice nicely. As a guide with expected encounters with brown bear a 375 of some persuasion would be a good choice, but bigger is not out of the question either. All 375s move 350 grain bullets quite nicely at around 2,350 fps when a bit more close up punch is needed.
