Krag for an American and one of the great old Winchester cartridges if going big bore. 405 WCF would be an excellent choice. Main concern for me would be rimmed and access to quality brass. I got mine in 405 for the reason that I will likely ever own one, and I wanted it to fit several bills -- rimmed, big bore, classic.

The age old question of what caliber/chambering is best is only answered by what caliber/chambering do you like best. Figure out what and how you like to hunt and go from there. Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.
