Your 3 favorite hunting cartridges off all time

22WMR, .338WM, .375Ruger

In order of preference:
264 WM - pre 64 Mod 70 named "Betty". Betty is my mother and she always kept me fed.
375 H&H - pre 64 Mod 70 named "Susie". Susie is my wife. She took over from Betty many years ago.
300 WM - Mod 70 Classic Supergrade. No name on this one but it sure is pretty and shoots like greased silk.
I also enjoy and hunt quite a bit with 6.5x55, 300 H&H, 7x64, 243 Win, and 223. My favorite handgun is a Ruger Single Six with the 22 Mag cylinder.

Most practical three would be:
22 lr
30-06
.375

But my personal favorites would be:
22 hornet
7x57
.404

In order of preference:
264 WM - pre 64 Mod 70 named "Betty". Betty is my mother and she always kept me fed.

The 500 Jeffery is a lovely cartridge and capable of the same performance as the Gibbs, but if I could've afforded a custom rifle or built one I would've gone with the Gibbs. It's just so damn impressive. The CZ bolt face diameter in a Gibbs leaves so little metal I found it a tad scary, so I would've gone with an action (Montana PH, GMA, etc) with a larger bolt diameter. That being said, my CZ 550 in 500 Jeffery shooting 570grain bullets at 2300 fps is my favorite rifle to shoot offhand. It's very accurate and recoil is reasonable.

I changed my mind
35Whelen then
35Whelen
then for backup, 458 win mag

Sorry guys on some Belgian Wheat beer tonight. Just having some fun. For those that don't know me, I like the 35Whelen

Are you trying to wake Bart up! Next thing you know you are going to put 458 Win down 3 times in a row (lol).

NOOOOOoooo..... If I wanted to wake BART up I would have said 30-06, 30-06, and 308. How quick you forget Eric. Bottoms up...

Yes, the 30-06 for sure!
