What everybody here said....
I will add that in Alberta, a lot of elk has been shot with .270.. The 270 is indeed the most popular caliber out here in the foothills of the Rockies. That's just my observation..

Like everybody else has said, any of those calibers will work perfectly for all the animals listed. If it's just a coin-flip, then, I personally would leave out the .280 and 7mm-08, because of cartridge availability and cost. Beyond that, if they're all in the same rifle, *shrug* maybe the '06 because it's just a hair more versatile than the .270, but I'd trust my .270 with my life.

into the mix I'd have to recommend the 30-06.
