Which cartridges have you used to take at least one big game animal?
For me this is the list:
.22-250 Remington
.243 Winchester
.25-06 Remington
.270 Winchester
7mm Remington Magnum
.300 Savage
.308 Winchester
.30-06 Springfield
.300 Winchester Magnum
8mm Remington Magnum
.338 Lapua Magnum I have to add the .300 WSM! I used my Father’s M70 in .300 WSM with the 150 grain Corelokt Tipped ammo to take a cow elk last month. It worked very well!
It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Buckshot on both quite a few times. 12 ga slugs also. And though not asked for, compound, recurve, both homemade and custom. Never a longbow. But have used a crossbow. Anything from pigs and deer up to moose and bears. The very least impressive of all of these. Ran a long way. zero blood until last 50 yards, was a lung shot whitetail doe with the 50 bmg. Caliber in. Caliber out. There isn't a single one that had bad results. I"m sure the 50 deer ran so far simply adrenalin due to the noise of the 50 going off. They are horribly loud. There isn't a single one I wouldn't use again. Assuming I am sizing the round for the game. IE no moose with a 380. But a bear with a 9mm wasn't an issue and I would do that again without issue if I had to.

I'm surprised so many of you have taken big game with rimfires. Where I live, big game means whitetails or black bear. I used a 30-06 only (except for bow) for a couple decades. Here's my list:
12 gauge buckshot
6.5 Creedmoor
308 Winchester
30-06
338 Federal
That's it. I have a 25-06 that I may try one of these days. I have seen plenty killed in my group with shotgun slugs, 30-30s and 270.
