with one load and one rifle like Grancel Fitz did with his Remington model 30 .30-06 and Winchester 180 Silvertips, what would your cartridge and load be? I would do it with a .270 Winchester and a 130 grain Partition. I realize it would likely be easier with a .300 mag but I think the .270 would make it a more interesting story. Who is Grancel Fitz and his Rem model 30? Doc

I could do it all with a 300 win and 180 grain easily.

I'm glad you are still on that kick... 
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

.30-06 using 180 or 200 gr Partitions. ^^^^^^^^^ This I had expected that yours would be a 7x57 with 175's I thought seriously about that...it would work "better" on all but the big bears and moose.....I think.....  WTF did you guys do with the real Ingwe???

300 WSM or 300 Win. Mag. 180gr TTSX bullet. I'd probably go this way. That combo has done it here and worldwide so many times there's no speculation involved. Would not have to be a TTSX but bet it works great. All these guys saying 270 and you choose the 300 WSM?? WTF? The boat has left without you and you were supposed to be the captain....

If you left out the thick skinned dangerous game, I'd shoot pretty much anything in the world with a 300 WM and 180 grain TSX bullets.
If you died tomorrow, what would you have done today ...

You mean 22 magnum, and from the window of a truck. Spotlight probably involved too...

Don't know about the rest of North America, only have bush experience in BC and Alberta and a bit in Canada's northern territories.
I am often solo, usually by choice and am currently enamoured of a Kimber MA in 280AI, using 160NPs over 65-MagPro.
However, I would choose one of my .338WMs with 250NPs over 76-RE-22 and I always take a .338 on any hunt. now usually one of my Dakota 76s in synthetic handles.

Most anything from 308 Win and up would work if you watch your range and put where it needs to go.
