OP still hasn’t clarified, but you are right – he did not specify big game. He did specify caliber, so I’ll change my answer to 0.729” and 0.308” ...
In all seriousness, it makes a difference whether one is guiding or simply hunting for video/magazine. If I’m guiding on the peninsula and I’m backing somebody on big bears, I want a 375 or larger; If I’m hunting for media, I could easily abide by just about anything in this thread.
