In order of preference.....
1. .270 winchester
2. .257 Roberts
3. 7x57 mm Mauser
4. .35 Whelen
5. .303 British
Sorry fellas, fives as high as I can go. Havent hunted with enough other calibers to make the judgement. Though I must say with these 5 you will hardly be undergunned in most places.

If there could only be 20 in the world?
I solved the riddle...

.223 Rem. (sorry .22-250, get a .223 or .243)
.243 Win.
.257 Wby

.270 Win. (probably only need 1 .270 so have your pick)
.270 WSM
7mm-08

.308
.30-06 (can't mess with the '06)
.300 WSM (course we need a .30cal magnum)
.300 RUM (1 supermag in .30cal is ok with me)

.340 Wby. (what the .338win.mag wishes it was, if you want a .338cal get a .340!)
.375 H&H (No need for anything else in .375)
.416 Rigby (we only need 1 .416, 1 popular one would be nice, so whichever that ends up being)
.458 Lott (the .458win.mag. sucks)

This comment should be at the beginning of everyone's list!

Here's a much shorter list, capable of handling everything on the continent
22/250, 25/06, 7mm RM, 300 WM, 338WM, and the 416RM...what else would anyone need but these and you could actually get rid of either the 7 mag or the 300 mag if you wanted to cut her down some....
