I'd go H4895, IMR 4451, Reloader 26. Bullets would be Hornady SP, Berger Hunting VLD and Barnes TTSX. Cartridge would be 22lr, 223, and 270. If this post causes you a lot of stress "you might be a rifle loony."

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field

One of them would be a .308 with 155 Scenars and Varget. The other would be a .223 with 75 Amax and Varget. The other would be hard to decide.

Powder= Tac, H4350, and Big Game.
Bullets= Hornady Interlock, Hornady V Max, and Nosler BTips.
Cartridges= .223, .25-06, and .30-06. I would also choose a .22 LR. I know that is four, but the OP seemed to be asking about centerfires.

My all time favorite rifle, a Marlin 39A with an endless supply of CCI mini-mag long rifle hollow points!
[Linked Image]

The .30-06 Rem 700 CDL which has brought me black bear, pronghorn, elk, mule deer, wolf and grizzly last fall and this spring, H4350 & 165 Ballistic Tips as well as 200 gr Partitions:

And I get a third? Cool. I need to think about that one a bit...

Rifle cartridges: .22LR, .264WM (1:8" twist), .50-110
Bullets: Sierra Varminter, Woodleigh Weldcore, Northfork monolithic solid
Powders: IMR 7828 SSC, Accurate 2495 (don't really need a 3rd powder with only 2 centerfires)

That covers everything. Maybe not perfectly, but well enough. You'd be a little limited for range on thin skinned dangerous game, and a little over-gunned for certain varmints. But you can't have it all with only 3 guns.

22lr, 308 win,223

Powder any of a dozen for the two rounds I picked . One will do Tac, 4320, varget, R15, 335 ,748

50 gr sierra .224
60 gr Partition. .224
165 gr partition or interlock .308


I'll add Iam assuming that we are talking rifles. If not the 223 goes and a 12 ga is added.

223...H335...50 grain VMax . If I my choice were limited to ALL 223 ammo, then I'd pick a 55 FMJ.

243...W760...85 grain Sierra HPBT (although on another day, I might pick a 95 grain BT)

270...H4831...130 Grain, I prefer Sierra, but any good bullet would work.

The only thing I might chance would be if ever draw a Kentucky elk tag, then I'd probably go with a heavier 270 bullet.

Yep, only two calibers, but there are several good to great 6.5 cartridges to choose from.

223 with W-748 and the Sierra #1365 (55 grn SBT)

6.5 Creed with H-4350 and the 143 ELD-X

30-06 with IMR-4064 and a 180 Partition.


That decision sure would hurt though, leaving the 243 behind would not make me happy. It is my favorite coyote rifle with the 87 VMAX, and with the 100 grain Sierra GK it will do most of what a man needs to do around here.
