Well, I am a fan of the .338-06, being on my third one, so that would be my choice. Ammo and brass are readily available these days, which makes it more enjoyable to play with. It is a good elk cartridge and would also be more than adequate for any black bear you might want to tag.
And, everyone needs a winter project.
