The 375 WBy thread got me thinking of my favorite hunting cartridges off all time.
Here are mine:
22 LR
9.3x62 (followed close my a 375 wby--less bark with the 9.3)
450/400 3" (really it was the gun it was in--but was a sweet shooting as they come)

I was about to start a thread similar to this one. It is hard for me to choose between the .222 Remington and the .22-250 for the .22's.
Here are my faves:
.222 Remington
.270 Win
.30-06 Spfld.
I enjoy these:
.280 Rem
.30-06
.338 Win Mag*
*I sold my .338 WM and am having a 338-06 built. I still get the use of .338 bullets but without the belt and the punishment. :)
6.5X55 swedish Mauser
303 British
7MM remmington Mag
300 Win mag
375H&H
505 Gibbs
Sorry, I could not stop at three!
.280 Rem/7x64
9.3x62
.375 H&H
.404 Jeffery
Me neither!
6.5x55
7mm rem mag
375 H and H
If I HAVE to narrow it down to only 3, it would be:
8x68 S
9,3x64 mm
.450 Rigby Rimless
7x57
375 H&H
470 nitro
ED,
Mine are :
.300 Weatherby Magnum
. 375 H&H Weatherby Magnum ( in love with it )
.404 WR
& .470 JR
Monish
I have hunted with a wide variety of calibres and rifles. But when it comes to the big ones their where the occasional shot besides my own 416Rigby and 404Jeffrey. Furthermore most of us I am sure also don’t get to hunt that ofthen with them. So to conclude even if I love my 416Rigby it comes down to two rifles.
300Win Mag
22-250
The perfect bean field couple loaded with Barnes X. From Springbuck to eland.
300 Win Mag, 7mm Mag, and 223 Win
300 Win Mag - with 165gn TSX or 180gn Nos Partitions
22-250 - with 53gn Sierra BTHP's
416 Rigby - with 400gn TSX
in terms of African hunting:
375 H&H
30-06
404 Jeffery
I would take any two of them on a plains game/dangerous game hunt and feel very confident.
.223 Win? Winchester wishes!Quote:

I only left .22 Magnum and .220 Swift off the list out of respect for 505ED's limit!! And my .22lr's - can't be without them...
7mm-08
.300 winmag
.375 H&H
.22 Eargesplitten Loudenboomer
.450 Watts Magnum
.700 Hubel 3.25
It should be no surprise to anybody that my two all time favourites are the 7x57 and the 404J but I would have to add the 20VarTarg for the small stuff and nobody should be without a 22LR and a 12 guage sxs.

.22-250
.300 Wby, love it - the ultimate all-round NA and plains game round
.416 Rigby, but I need more real-world experience with it still
Also it's hard to leave out the .257 Wby. Great pronghorn & deer round
For me it has been the 300 Weatherby, 340 Weatherby and 9.3x62.
