Another vote for 308. Great bullets in 150-165 range kill fantastic out to 400. Guns are generally lighter, shorter, handier....pontificating over which caliber is better between any big game cartridge over the next within " usual" hunting distances is redundant.....spoiler they ALL work just fine on deer sized game. Platform if said rifle for Said purpose makes much more difference on how enjoyable/ well the hunt goes.
Once distances increase or critter size increases caliber selection becomes a bit more important.
