270 WCF by a mile #1, the classic Winchester that made them stand out. #2 264 Winchester, it just looks impressive sitting there. #3 284 Winchester... forward thinking before its time. #4 "Honorable mention" 300 Winchester... could have been #2 or #3 if only it had better resembled its better friend the 308 Norma Mag!

Correction:
Put 338 Winchester in at #4. Drop 300 Winchester to #5. 308 Norma Mag comments stand.

I have a Model 70 .264 Win Mag and Winchester claimed it was the Utlimate Deer & Antelope Rifle. It has served me well in that roll.

.270 Win would be my favorite. Not much I couldn’t do with that rifle and 150 Partitions.

270 followed by the 338
These are the finest pure hunting rounds ever created IMHO.

Several come to mind, but it occurs to me the only one I actually use is the 243. Mind you the shoulder is blown out to 40*.
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!

I have a rifle chambered in .30-30 Marlin Smokeless, and another marked for 5.6x36R. Both will run fine with Winchester ammunition though
