The .30-06 by a wide margin, I have used it from greydiggers to elk. I even used it to take an antelope and a bighorn sheep too. Then the .30 Carbine, .308 Norma Magnum, ,308 Winchester, .300 Savage, .30-30 and .300 Weatherby in roughly that order. I like the .300 H&H too,though I have never owned one. The .300 Winchester Magnum leaves me cold.

I started with a .300 Savage and loved it. I only went to a .308 because of availability I used it a lot. Many deer and four elk. About then I got tired of it being "almost as good as an '06" and scratched that itch. I have only used a few other cartridges since, most notably a .338 Win Mag and a 12 gauge slug.
