Depends on where you are from, I'm from Montana and I use a 300 mag. It's a tad bit powerful for deer, but for elk it's great. I think a 270 is also a good gun!
I would probably have to pick the .306, especially after remington made a bunch of new loads to better suite hunters. They know have catridges in .306 that can be used on deer all the way up to big game which makes it very versatile.
I THINK I could kill anything I wanted to with a 25-06 but I KNOW I could kill anything I ever needed to with a 338 win mag. I am confident with one and supremely confident with the other, the other is just a little harder on the shoulder.
.45/70. From the wild west, to across the ocean to shoot the other kind of buffalo. But not without first hanging out in the Vermont deer woods for a while, or making a pit stop in Washington for elk and some Garrett Cartridges.
A .375 H&H, but I don't own one. Pachyderms to pronghorns can be handled with a .375 but I would rather have a choice. Why compromise? A .223 and a .500 N.E.? a dozen stops in between. Traditional lever action carbines, tack driving bean field rifles, English double rifles, 1903 Springfield sporters, black rifles, vanilla bolt action workhorses, air weight mountain rifles, engraved Teutonic single shots. Too many choices! Enough of this sillyness, just grab the 30/06 and head out back to look for a black bear. Shoot the .458 some more before you go back to Africa.

.300 Remington ultra mag
I would take the .264 Win Mag.
To do this with any caliber you would have to give up some animals.
.35 Whelen (.35-06).
It's a toss up between the .270 and the .30-06.

Define big game. North America + plains game, .30-06
Anything more, i.e. big-ass game, minigun.
30-06 for pretty much all NA big game. Pack a .500 S&W for grizley country.
.45/70. From the wild west, to across the ocean to shoot the other kind of buffalo. But not without first hanging out in the Vermont deer woods for a while, or making a pit stop in Washington for elk and some Garrett Cartridges.
Military cartridge, they will always be around. .30-06 first, then .308.
