6.5 140 berger vld. Second place would be a .530 roundball. You sound smart so I will take your first choice.  On second thought I might drop down the the 130gr VLD as I like it a bit better in the CM and it would still work fine @ 3200 fps in the Mag.

Hornady interlock spire point. Whatever dia. At this point in time Id have to say the .277 150 grain. Just as an " in case". The 130 is probably all I would ever "need". Boxed by the 100. Affordable. Practice,hunting,one and done. Split the difference with 140's. Better BC too.

Likely, if I could pick only one, I'd pick a 200gr Partition in 30 cal. I could hunt the world with that out of an '06.
But why would I limit myself to one bullet? In 30 cal alone, I load for 4 guns, using over 2 dozen different bullets, including 11 different cast bullets. I'll never understand you "one bullet" guys. I guess you’d really struggle with one rifle/caliber hunters then! memtb Yeah...I've been wondering lately if I have gotten too materialistic. The kids are my excuse for collecting more nowadays. They can't handle the recoil of the 30-06 with 200gr Partitions yet.

Of what I’ve used, .277 Federal Trophy Bonded Tip 130gr. But the TBT would be good in other weights and calibers, and I have some Nosler Accubonds on order for my 308 and those might become my new favorites.

Mine would also have to include African hunting, that being said, the great 300gr .375 cal Nosler Partition at 2680 fps would get me by on all game anywhere till I'm too damn old to pack a rifle and hunt game, big or small, they all would fall.

Brand: Nosler
Bullet: Accubond
Diameter: .284
Weight: 140
I could use this bullet in soooo many different deer rifles with complete confidence. 7mm-08, 7x57, 280 Rem, 7mm Rem Mag, 7mm WBY just to name a few.
This bullet would work on deer or elk. Close or long range.

7mm 150 grain Scirocco at 2900 fps in my pet 280. A pointy BBC, about as good as it gets.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

First Pick: .277" 130gr Partition (or Accubond)
Second: .308" 200gr Accubond (or Partition)
A 200gr Nosler out of a .300H&H is easily a do anything, anywhere, load for NA. However, the 130gr Partition out of the .270 should cover everything left on my dance card. And do it in a lighter package.

200gr 8mm Speer Hot Cor. If I can't put it down with one of those at 2600, I don't need to be messing with it.

See my Sig line.
It answers the question and the cartridge question.
Funny thing,
I don't use either very much.
But, if limited to one bullet, one gun?
Easy!

I only hunt WT's, so if I hunted larger game things might be different. But if I had to choose today, I would have to pick the .277 130 gr. Barnes TTSX. However, I hope this is a fluid situation as I just bought a box of Barnes ammunition for my baby '06 with 100 gr. TTSX bullets. I have never shot deer with 100 gr. bullets out of the 25/06, but am very interested in seeing what they will do. If they perform like the 130 gr. out of the 270, that will be my choice at that time!

.22 caliber 55 gr. Hornady sp. I shoot 100 times more varmints than deer. The 55 Hornady has proven deadly for both and is economical.
