memtb, that would be 1912, either the 25-06 or 375 H&H. Given your quote from Bob Hagel, I am guessing your choice is the 375.

What makes a cartridge exciting is the moment you realize you already had or have it and have been fooling yourself with silly diversions.
I have let 2 John Rigby rifles and a rack full of Weatherby Mark V's plus a slew of others go since I bought it in '93 and it has more value than any monetary opinion as we are mates and have traveled together. Despite its seemingly modest market value, it would be my greatest loss if it were gone.
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

After all the excitement of all the rounds I have had over the years, I have pretty much settled on my next hunting rifle being a 30-06.

For me anything except a Creedmoor It may be a great cartridge but with all the media hype it has become boring .

What makes a cartridge exciting? What cartridge makes you get up each day with sunshine flooding the room, just itching for another astonishing and stimulating adventure with it instead of waking up to a commonplace, unsurprising day with the .30-06?
P.S. I don't care a whit about your astonishing and suspenseful rifle nor its extrapolated 24 hour performance. I'm just asking about the brass bottle it fires.
Either: - an article you read in outdoor life in the barber shop
- nobody in your deer camp has one
- it's what your (older brother, dad, grandpa) used in the good old days
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

For me 30-06 is interesting with an heavy bullet. Also the 35 cal and 375 cal with their ability to handle decently heavy cast and jacketed. Im going to be trying a 375 Ruger and someday when Trailboss powder is once again available it will be my companion.
