Probably 35 Whelen for everything but Grizzly, use 45-70 for that, but possibly the 38-72 instead of the 45-70.  Maybe the 38-72 for everything, expecially if I can get a barrel closer to .375" instead of the .380 NEF puts out.

Exept for Grizzly which I would not hunt or kill, my 257Roberts Handi with TSX bullets would be just fine for the rest of the game. Other then that a 30-06 would do all of them if you felt under gunned with the 257R which is not factory supplied either.

I agree, a hot loaded barnes x bullet for large game, and federal fusion for every thing else. It's too bad NEF does'nt make a 7mm rem mag cause it will do all in my opinion.

That's easy, the .30-06.  It is, and will always be king.

.22 mag for everyting but the Grizzly.  I'd break out the .17 hmr for that. ;D  No, seriously, the '06 would be good for all.  I hope my wife doesn't read this, though.  How's a guy ever expect to get new guns with that kind of attitude.
