I am partial to my 308 Win for majority of game. I acknowledge there are a multitude of chambers that do an exceptional job in the field. Beside the 308 Win I enjoy shooting the 7mm Rem Mag for antelope and mule deer. Most elk hunts have been with 338 Win Mag and 444 Marlin, taken a couple with the 308 Win as well. Would like a 20-inch scout setup in 9.3 or 375 Steyr, or possibly 375 Ruger. Take care.
