In 1987 the editon of a popular hunting magazine asked thirty gun writers, outfitters, and shooting industry officials what cartridge they would pick if restricted to hunting all North American big game with one rifle. Naturally, the .30-06 was the first choice by a considerable margin. The big surprise came when the .338 Winchester Magnum, .340 Weatherby Magnum, and the 7mm Remington Magnum tied for second place. The .280 Remington came in third, followed by the .270 Winchester. The .300 Winchester and .300 Weatherby Magnums tied for fifth place.
