Well, if you go for cartridge spacing at all, then it looks like it is "thumper time."

50 BMG's are too heavy to hunt with for the most part, though they sure are fun --- the shock wave is a real sensation.
45-70's are great as a close quarters lever gun cartridge, but hardly king of the "458 hill."

That leaves you the wonderful zone of huntable, packable rifles between .325 and 416....
You might considera 416 Rigby, not for the faint of heart though.
Or for something truly easy going and fun, yet effective, a 375 H&H....
One planet, one rifle, Holland's .375!

Good Luck

Maybe you should get a Remington 673 in .350 Rem. Magnum, the 673's in my area are going on discount, and they're REALLY great rifles.

I have the .308 version.

Me too I need to add between them. maybe a 375h&h? maybe a 358wm

Build a 338-378 on a ruger #1 action and a loooong Lilja tube. Let me know how it goes

The 7mmstw can be a very accurate cartridge.The links below show typical groups from my 7mmstw rifles.

Now, your talking, 375HH would be very interesting.
